Don--
I'm using a GA Smith at the moment, because it's easier for
me to handle it given a certain
joint soreness in my left hand thanx to Father Time
slipping up on me.. however, I do have
a Shubb/Pierce copy of a Stevens as a spare at the ready
complete with Broccoli band..
I'm not sure you were on the list when we had that
discussion, but a number of the players
find that placing a heavy rubber elastic band around the
Stevens type bars makes them
easier to hold on to. The bands are available in the
Produce section of your favorite Super
Market wrapped around Broccoli... and eat the Broccoli...
it's good for you.. : > )

hopefully safe from Richie barbs...
