Am I missing something?  I can't find record of recieving this email...

I know this is drifting off-topic, but to those who've tried the Teuffel
Birdfish... how much difference do the resonance tubes make, shifting 
around
what must be a fairly abstract tonal centre?  As I said recently I do some
work on guitar acoustics, and the birdfist is one of the things tat made me
interested in the whole field.  I think what Teuffel do is great, but 
whilst
I'm sure their varying the woods in the bars will make a difference, I 
would
expect it to be dominated by the metal bits and bolt-on construction.

Incidentally, dt, doesn't that seemlingly huge upper bout get in the way on
the Tesla?
