Chis Reynolds just told me that he's finished cloning the JT30 shell in lightweight plastic. I bought one of his Shure 520 shells (I've got it partially done - I'm waiting for the paint to dry). These shells are great for harp players. I've always found that the lighter the shell, the easier it is to play. I can play faster and more accurately with a light shell.

I am thinking about sending Chris a "brown bullet" shell, but there is question about the suitability for making a mold. It picks up all the flaws so I have to find one in my collection as nearly perfect as possible. I also have some very odd shells, including the series of Japanese plastic shells that are very far out. I might send him three or four and let him choose which ones he wants to clone.

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
