Well, in a way you actually did, then; you just did it before it showed
up here. :-]

You're going to make a grown man cry, Grant. I gotta get those
sweepstakes entries in....
BTW (and yes, this is off topic, but I'm the list owner so I can
digress if I want to, nyah nyah): I noticed that the price of $2000 is
given as "around one sixth of it's [sic] nearest competitor." That would
be around 12 grand, but Kotato & Fukushima charges (the last I heard) more
like $35K for their contrabass. Who else makes them?
