I have an Alverez 12-string (not the best I know, but I love the different tone from the cedar) Just my $0.02, but I just love cedar topped guitars. I've got an 11 year old Washburn that I take aboard that just SHOUTS when I ask it to, but it's got such a sweet voice :-) No probs yet with warpage. It really is a sweet sound and it plays well too. But 12 strings in general are prone to warpage due to all the stress from the 6 extra strings. Steve |

You take your Larrivee out on the boat? I decided that the best protection for my Breedlove was the purchase of a Takamine. thats probably the best advice ive heard yet. lol chris |

Protecting a musical intrument from moisture

(great to combine work and vacation). I am wodering if any one has any ideas how I can protect my wooden snare drum from all the moisture. I was thinking of putting it in a plastic bag with something that absorbs moisture such as rice (like we do for salt shakers) Any ideas? I guess I could take my metal snare instead. thanks Just curious about how you're planning on protecting the rest of your kit. Also, if all you're taking is a snare I wonder what type of jazz you'll be playing... possibly a minstrel show retrospective? |

I am playing in a dixieland band and may even bring my "rims" set, which have no shells at all. Not your typical dixieland drum, but it will fit better on the boat. I use them alot on gigs where I don't need to be too loud and am traveling by boat. they look funny, but sound fine (not great) If I am playing with electric guitars such as Blues or Rand B, I will bring my big set. |

Try not to let the leader stiff you. That's about the extent of my advice. |
