Both of my Koa steel strings - I won the Mcknight/Poling in a contest and the story about how it came to be is enough to write a book about - it will be here for the duration.
The Charis was a gift from 23 forum members when I was experiencing some hard times (after I'd sold it to help with my predicament) Every time I open the case it reminds me that there are still some really wonderful folks in the world.
Neither will leave my closet until I can't play any longer.
