Thanks for allowing me access to your Great! site and for sharing your knowledge and passion. It is nice to see someone who enjoys and cares for something so much. I lost my dad in September and Inheirited his Shobud Maverick which he loved so much but could never quite become proficient at playing I thought I would give it a try for him. Thanks for the opportunity
