Hi, Herb -

They're regular felt-tip pens with a metalic=20
content in the ink. I get them here at just about=20
any tianguis, where they're ubiquitous, and some=20
stationary stores. I'd look for a tiny point,=20
such as in the Sharpie Ultra Fine Point markers.

As to the 240, backordered, backordered. Due in=20
=46eb. 18, but who knows. My next two-days off is=20
at the end of March, at which point I'll fly up=20
to Houston to pick it up at my hotel, to which=20
I'll have it sent.

I used my Rieger tip profiler on my first reed=20
the other day and the reed actually crowed. I=20
decided every Sunday night I'd put three pieces=20
of GSP cane to soak, finish Monday morning before=20
rehearsal and in the afternoon work on the=20
preceeding weeks three now dried reeds. First=20
steps . . . exciting ones for me.

Be good,

Carlberg
