Proud phono-crank checking in. I actually bought these this afternoon: schwing

While reading this, I couldn't help but think of Les Paul (the man, not the guitar bearing his name that apparently 90% of Hubski either owns or once owned. Oh how the purists must have hated Les Pauls inventions. They certainly strayed us further and further away from "acoustical" recording.

Also, I want a Stroh Violin. My new fantasy is that I casually stroll up to a garage sale and see one in pristine condition. It's marked at $20. I keep my cool and even manage to talk them down to $10. I never sell it but I record the bajeesus out of it and lend it to others that wish to make use of it in recording situations.

It could happen.
