In the mail

That's right, I still buy mail-order strings, namely the ones not found here. Martin's Darco strings are now offered in that packaging. Sfarzos are something I had been wanting to try but the name always slipped off my mind. Of course, complementary sticker. 

Gesture

Sometimes, the biggest gesture comes from the little guys; strings&beyond is an online guitar accessories store & the reason I popped by- pick hunting. I purchased a coconut shell pick you see here & the note included there (on the DO) just made my day.

So here's a salute to all the SMEs out there- you guys make the difference!
