Toad,

Thanks for the Friend req! Sorry if I didn't answer right away; our Net access has been spotty the last couple days.

Uncle Toad, I'm back on the grid after being at the house up North with no internet, and saw your comment on the DoublHandy. Thanks for the kind words, I am really happy with the look and sound with the jacks as well. I'm going to try to do a video as you suggested, It wails with a real player! I'm just a builder... so I've gotta go recruit someone to do it justice!
