It reminds me when I brought a pedal steel guitar to Ecuador... they used to be quite harsh at customs... if you were "over" and had no money, you'd loose it all right there at the airport. Well, so here I came on down from Nashville where I had bought me a purdy double neck pedal steel guitar. First I decided I would not understand neither Spanish nor English... at times it helps. The opened the case... I don't think most will ever have seen a pedal steel up close in it's case... the legs are off and they are in the case upside down, so when you open, all you can see is some rectangular metal and wood thing packed full with rods, cross shafts, bell cranks and plenty of setting screws and springs... not a very musical sight! Did shook their hads, declared me as one more gringo loco and let me go... with 3000 Dollar instrument.
... J-D.
