After such a cold boring week I had to share this. A lady called a while ago and needed a "String" to repair her antique Cheese Slicer. I gave her a .011 stainless string. I am anxious to see how long it lasts.Maybe we can salvage our old broken strings and make cheese slicers. I forgot to ask if the cheese was SHARP or EXTRA SHARP. Ed Naylor Steel Guitar Works. |

Ed....was it a Push-Pull or an All-Pull?
Hope those .o11's last longer on a cheese Slicer. |

I think it was a ALL PUSH the way she demonstrated it.This will probably make an antique with a broken string increase in value by 400%. Maybe it will be on ANTIQUE ROAD SHOW on TV.ED |

Hey Ed,
Did you tell her to tune it straight up 440 or did you tell her to temper tune it? |
