Very interesting - wonder how hard it would be to get one of those gig bags for my BBb Cerveny? They were not available when I bought mine 15 years ago.

I think I will try a more local source first! Dillon may be able to get one direct from Cerveny, but it might take a while.

That's some damn good craftsmanship. I liked the magnet and slug trick for removing dents in the tuning pipes. I wished they would have test played the helicon after the resto was finished.
