Subject: NEW MAILGROUP for INSTRUMENT BUILDERS!

========================= Instrument Builders ==============================
 
    I am starting a mail group for those interested in designing and
    building  musical instruments. The list will be distributed in journal
    format whenever it gets big enough. It will be a non-moderated group
    unless a post is too far off topic or *far* beyond the realms of good
    taste. 
 
    Topics will include design ideas, building techniques, reviews of
    literature,  where to get stuff, materials, experimental instruments,
    gadgets, tools,  marketing, seminars, and anything else of interest to
    builders & designers. I  suspect that the focus will be on stringed
    instruments since they are probably  the easiest to build and most
    often built. However, any instrument class is  open for discussion:
    wind, percussion, keyboard, acoustic, electric, electronic.
 
    I'm using a home brew mailing list manager program to compile the list
    and take care of subscribers. I'm running the whole thing from my own
    account and if all goes well I wont have to deal with any requests
    manually. To join the  list send mail to [email protected] with the
    subject header "SUBSCRIBE" and  nothing in the body. Please dont send a
    subject like "Hey, sign me up!" I'd like the software to be able handle
    this as much as possible. To unsubscribe use  "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the
    subject header and nothing in the body. To post use "POST <subject>" in
    the subject field where <subject> is whatever subject you want to add
    to the message.  Dont forget the POST part or it may be delayed.
 
    This is a new group so dont be a lurker, lets get it off the ground
    with lots  of discussion. What have you built? What have you designed?
    Why do you build?  Are you a pro? Do you have any horror stories? Any
    advice for new builders? Do  you have experience working with odd
    materials like graphite? Your post just  might make it into a FAQ!
