My Mule tricone is substantially heavier than my NRP Delphi.

I’m going to sell my mule tricone soon: how much are they asking for it?

And now I know who did the theme for the Beverley Hillbillies! Thanks Michael- I haven’t heard that song for over 50 years! (It was Lester Flatt, I’ve discovered!) Andrew.

Well, I bought this guitar from Ellie in January. Michael gave me some invaluable advice about what to do next, and I sent it to Michael Lewis in France for sorting out. I went to pick it up this week - and have picked up what is now a wonderful sounding great playing guitar. It needed a neck reset and plane; new tuners and it now has a Fine Resophonic cone as the old one was split and beyond recovery. Mike was great, and it turned out that before he left for France we lived in the same town in the East Midlands - within a mile or so of each other! He was kind enough to show me his collection of vintage nationals (including a Don - wow!) and some of his own guitars. It was a day I won't forget in a hurry. I don't know whether I can attach a photo - but will try..... Andrew Attachments:

Starting point is to make sure you have quotes for any work and replacements in writing. Ideally this should be from a national franchised repairer. Once you have this you will have worked out your loss and then send copies to the bus company/insurer (if an insurer is handling it). Don’t get bogged down in correspondence. If you tell them what your loss is, and they reply saying no deal, write another letter saying if you don’t pay I’ll go to the small claims court - and if they don’t then issue proceedings - court fees become part of the claim and it is all on line. Sue the bus company not the insurer. A word of warning. You have to show that the driver was negligent - so you have to be able to explain what he did that a reasonable bus driver would not have done: did he start too early before you had sat down, for example or what? There needs to have been something. Hope that helps Andrew.

Mine is a brass tricone with biscuit cover. If anyone wants to try one on the edge of Brighton just let me know!

I have always been careful about exposing guitars to heat - whether from a radiator or elsewhere. I’ve just moved to a house with underfloor heating downstairs. Does anyone have any experience of this with guitars? Should I keep them upstairs? Or is it ok if they are on stands (which they will be). Or should I just not worry? Andrew.

It was worth interrupting my moving in to my new home to come up and meet everyone one there - it is good to put faces to names (some of them anyway) and I was surprised at how easy and friendly it all was. I’ve been practising vibrato ever since! Thanks too to Manish and Michael - it’s great to talk guitars and music!
All the best Andrew
