Wonderful instrument! I'd like more and more trade my old Grand Stick with a N/S, just for fun.

That NS IS BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm still in the process of paying off my natural walnut NS. So every 3 or 4 months rub in some Watco Danish oil to keep the natural walnut from drying out??? Seeing those pictures is makeing me want to put the rest of what I owe on the creditcard. ........But that would be a trap.............unless I apply for a new creditcard that has o% intrest for the 1st 12 months. Further investigation is required. Enjoy your time with your new NS!!!!!!!! How do you have it tuned?


TYVM! :)

It's tuned in straight 4ths. I seem to be gaining more facility than I thought would be possible so quickly, and I think part of that is I can translate the patterns and relationships all over the neck with this tuning.

I know this seems counter-intuitive, but it seems I don't have any problem playing tapping scales with the right hand. Parallel octaves aren't that difficult, even. Playing parallel scales in thirds, etc., however, is quite a bit more difficult. 8-)

I wouldn't touch up the finish more than once a year--here's a post from Yuta I found on the wiki:

Quote:
Yuta Chapman on Watco Danish Oil

We use a product called Watco Danish Oil in natural or dark walnut finish, available in most hardware stores. Buy the smallest can you can get, and even that will last several life times. There is also a product called “Deft”, it seems to be identical to Watco.

It shouldn’t be applied more than about once a year. The strings should be removed and Watco is applied to the entire instrument. Let it sit for a few minutes and rub it in vigorously with a soft cloth. Be sure it is completely rubbed dry with a clean cloth so as not to get any gunk on your new strings. It works well and you can optionally repeat the process one more time before replacing strings.


I actually spent about 30 minutes just carefully rubbing the finish in all over the instrument. When I finished with the back, I'd start all over at the front again. The wood seemed really thirsty. ;)

Watch out for credit cards! I spent a huge amount of time paying off the revolving credit card debt I accrued when I was in college. Danger! :roll:

Credit cards can become a bottomless pit if your not careful. I probably will just wait it out. I'm not too far off. Have a GREAT TIME WITH YOUR NS!!!!!
