: fANTASTIC PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT I am going to try too
: all I've read or seen is everyone saying it can't be done well I guess i'll find out thankyou for your responce.
I have tried three times. Two, times I split the pans in sinking, the third time, I groved the pan too deeply and cut the pan. It is still tunable, but boy is that tough. I can get the notes on the right key, but not with the ringing sound. Truly, this is an art that takes years to learn. Good luck. Jay H
