Alas, the 7 string still has problems, and is back at D&H having a few 
modifications. The tuning, from top to bottom is as follows:

E,A,D,G,C,F,Bb

It is in 5ths all the way down to the bottom strings, which itself is 
one tone lower than that of the bottom string of a cello. Its a fun 
instrument, but bloody difficult to find a bottom string that works. :(

Its all improv. I close my eyes, clear my mind and just let the music 
flow out like a honey-dewed blend of musical diaoreah (sic?). To be 
quite honest, I dont know how I do it.

I call my music Organic. I have themes that occur a lot through my 
music, but my impro's are never the same twice (I dont have the 
skill/patience to do that), the music changes each time. Its kind of 
like a learning experience....

Bah. Its early. Need coffee :)
