Hi everyone, so here it is.

https://www.gofundme.com/roman-giza039s ... k-campaign

following Bruce's advise I created a GoFundMe campaign to help Roman.
This way everyone can see how much is there at all times and nothing is hidden. Anyone else wishes to manage the account with me? I can add people to the team so, any help is welcomed
I urge you all to share this link across any platforms - let's make a little difference in someone's life, why won't we?

Emmett, generous as ever, is contributing in a very special way also and has given me permission to transcribe his message so here it is:

"Over my manufacturing career, there have been somewhere around eight stolen Sticks and most of them showed up soon after the theft, but sometimes years later. First clues usually came from pawn shops or sales ads or inquiries about strings and accessories by new owners. We'll do our best to help return Roman's instrument if we hear about it and would keep you informed and all concerned.

We laud the Stick design as a "blank slate" and that applies to all tunings as well. The bridge and nut hardware is designed for any gauge string at any string position and there's never an extra charge for custom tunings - flipped, reversed, exchanged sides, intervals, lefties, whatever.

And yes, we could set up a new or used Stick to his 3rds tuning in heavy, medium or light gauges (medium recommended). We'd give him (or his Samaritans) a good price break, to be worked out around the time of his order. He might be very happy with a Stick in 3rds with optimum setup and exact intonation (might play "like butter" in his hands)."

Any doubts feel free to ask, message, email, facebook, whatever. I'll do my best to keep this alive as long as it has to.

does the site take paypal?

Alms-giving for the day completed.

No person should go through life stick-less

I don’t think so... but we could easily set up an account for that if you prefer, or even have the money wired directly to SE. Let me know

The whole process has been such an eye opener and incredible experience... I’ll have to write it down for all of you. And videos, have to make some videos!

Thanks for setting this up Rod.

And thanks all for being such a generous community.

Half way there in one day. This is good. Let’s keep going.
