"Really nice! So many harps in same place. Well, you almoust start to belive that a guitar isn`t so popular as THEY say!"

"I guess it's safe for me to make one then..."

"Well..the horsehair should not be the problem (if that`s the case :D) for strings you can use the fishline. 0.2 mm line..and about 120 starnds in one and 80 in other. It works nicely. Btw.. Igil is damn sturdy instrument... i belive i could fend off…"

"BUDDY! AWESOME!!! I love this guy... Listen, man, I love your woodwork. I'd like to have a chat about playing these things with strings some day... I am dying to ask questions..."

"Very nice work ! I'd like to see more, and hear it !"
