Ouch! That yellow makes my eyes hurt. (Takes my mind off my head exploding.)

Can it get enough tension to be playable without coming apart?

So has it emptied out, yet, as people run to their Harry Potters, or are they just wandering around with the book in their hands?

Say hi to Pete Alway for me!

If it's playable, it's probably glued together.

Rather a lot of the latter. Including one of the filk guests. :)

The owner (Pete Alway) said it was playable but very very quiet. I heard him tuning it but I can't remember if we heard him play it.

Hee. Hellos and hugs went to both Always, in fact. Everywhere I went, any time I mentioned you, everyone said, "Ah, Steve..."

BTW, thank you for the very flattering bio you wrote for us.

Yes, it's playable. In fact, he had it in a klezmer tuning for a while; I kept waiting for him to break into a bouncy Jewish-wedding-style number or something, but I guess that would have been a bit much for even his storied fingers. :-)

I've added you to my friends list. I hope you don't mind.

Yes, it's playable. No, it's not glued together.

Heh. Cool.

I heard him play it - I even played it a bit myself. Two of the strings are fishing line, one is an actual nylon harp string. The tone is surprisingly good considering that the top of the resonating chamber is plastic rather than wood. But it is vewwy vewwy quiet.

I have more pictures, including a couple of peteralway playing it, that I may post in the next couple of days.
