Speculation isn't enough to make me take the deal off the table, but I do want to research before I plop down the $$$. It's still most likely going to be my next string experiment. I contacted Pirastro to see what they have to say, and I'll probably give Lemur a call as well.

Anything is possible in the string biz from what I have seen. Lets see what Pirastro says. Was it Adrian Muller you contacted over there?

I like the Eudoxa bottoms so much now that I am thinking of trying the G and D as well on some Bass some day.
