re: Two more

I use Aquila strings almost exclusively on my ukulele's. I tried out the new Sugar strings on these because they were brand new and I was intrigued by the fact they mix sugar cane fiber in the Nylgut. But having played them for awhile, I think I'll probably go back to the Aquila Red strings. Big fan of those.

My older brother bought up all the exotic wood from Browning Arms near San Diego when they got out of the (wooden) hunting bow business in the early 70's. Most of the stock was Brazilian Rosewood, Burmese Rosewood, Teak, Mahogany and Zebrawood. He made a bunch of furniture out of the larger stock then, many years later he gave me what he had left. I have enough Brazilian Rosewood left for a few more instruments.
