Hi Everyone,

Just so everyone understands my feelings on the matter, I do not
like to see "plastic" in musical instruments. It might be said
that I never met a piece of plastic that I liked. Period.

Whether or not tuftane lives up to the claims of the chemists
only time will tell.

I can also say that there are people in the manufacturing end
of the business who share my feelings. However, their hands are
tied by their superiors who are primarily interested in the bottom
line and there is no doubt that plastic pouches are cheaper
to produce that leather.

Musically, John Tuttle
