Rudy;

Thank you for the string-tie info. That is the kind of thing needed with some of the baritone ukuleles that I've been trying out.

I appreciate your thoughts regarding the Ibanez but my past experiments of nylon strings on steel string instruments tell me that I would not be happy with the result and that it would be one more step that I'd like to miss.

I will probably be going for the Godin, but I want to sell the Kremona before I do any more buying. As it is I'm sitting here with a mini O-CE and a mini II EB-CE, an Emerald X10, and the Kremona. I've got enough guitars for a quartet but only two hands, and I'm trying to thin the herd not increase and multiply.
