I know where your coming from friend. If you are a bit depressed, you get behind on your chores, then you get more depressed because you see all the stuff that you are behind on. It is an endless cycle. You (we) have to get control of the situation and force our selves to get stuff done. It is hard when you're stuck in a rut though.

Nothing like a patty melt....
7 courses and 13 strings, firts is a single course rest are doubles but courses 5-6-7 string are different diameters (on the same course) and tuned an octave apart so you get a high and low note which gives them the unique sound, very fickle with weather changes, very light weight and a lot of work in the build as the body is made up of 25 staves with a very thin contrasting wood between each stave, the frets are tied gut.
I bought iot of a frustated player who had not played one before and it only cost me a few hundred $$$$$, I have played before but the technique is completely different to guitar, the bowl is deep and it sits a fair way from the player (although my middle doesn't help the cause any) and being rounded wants to fall off so you have to use a strap to hold it up.

Sorry, I was typing while you had replied, not depressed, yet, I get behind because there are other things I would rather be doing but the other half gets home and kicks me into line, unlike the dog I am not allowed to bite back.
