I pulled the MSDS for the Mirror Glaze Professional #M17 plastic cleaner and swirl remover to check for silicone content (couldn't attach the PDF), as well as th #10 polish and #18 detailer. Chemical nature components follow:
Light Distillate, Hydotreated Distillate, Natural Diatomaceous Earth, Glycerine was listed.

In speaking with Meguiar's this morning 949-752-5784 (11:43 AM Rick) the Mirror glaze plastic cleaners #17, #18, #10 and refinisher #09 have absoulutely NO SILICONE content.

Whew, I have used these for several months now with great results and was concerned.

I got my FWI today, props to Mr. Bob Colosi, I called him Friday 2-15 late, got the pins 2-19, well deserved rep he has!

I recorded a simple arpeggio played at normal touch and then slower with a harder attack for tone comparison. 1st with the tusk followed by the FWI in my Larrivee DV-09. I used a COU1 condenser at about 24 inches aimed at the 12th fret through audacity with no alterations.

I will try to attach it here, (If I can), and for those who prefer a link:

I recently had a chance to audition a carbon fiber violin and I must say I went in with low expectations and walked away throughly surprised.

Would you consider something other than a wooden instrument?

Hi all,

Sometime just into the new year I'm planning to buy my first mando.
Scott is tired of me abusing his 1918 Gibson when we get together and
although he keeps telling my that 'Funkytown' is not the worlds best
song played on the mandolin (ever), I hold fast to my claim.

At any rate, I know precious little about the makes of mandolins, so I'd
appreciate any advice from the mando pickers among you about what to look
for and which makes to try. I'd also like to buck tradition and get one
that I plan to keep for a while rather than buying a beater to determine
what I like before making the big purchase. I'll be looking in the $1000
