Chad and Rod are friends of mine, finer, more knowledgeable folk than these guys would be hard to find.

John, Eric, thank you!  I don't claim to know it all, but I do have a good bit of experience and great resources.

I'll 2nd that (or 3rd or 4th) Chad is a great bloke to deal with! You can't go wrong!

Thank you Tom!

I ended up trying a blended string that came out looking extremely well. I used 22 back twists but may need to do 25 or so in the future but the sting was very even and rounded out very well. Thank you for all the help.

Good job. That is what it is all about. >>>----> Ken
