Ken, what do you use to mount them. Rawhide lacing? Does it help to wet the rawhide to let it shrink more tightly?

What great basses! I don't think I've even played that many in my whole life. Come to think of it, I did get to play quite a selection in Gene (Joe) Byrd's loft apartment, in Baltimore, in the '60s.

The Quivers come with Lacing. Beside my 20 year hand made Quiver I had way back, I have been using Kolstein's quivers for the past 12 or so years.
