Well, Ken, if the pricing goes up, is that a bad thing for those of us who are fortunate enough to be the stewards of these bows?

I don't mean to rave. I do want to find some way of describing what the bow is like.

Here's my best attempt at description, a month into the relationship.

This bow feels like a living thing. A very powerful, lively, intelligent, but never willful friend.

It is one of the very few bows I've ever played that feels literally as if it is alive when I play it, in the best possible way.

Sounds odd, but there it is...

If/when the price goes up on Lipkins bows, based on the ones I've played, they are still a bargain, in my limited, modest opinion.
