We've already located a FATAR action which every one from Joey to Dr. 
Smith to Brian Auger to Al Kooper has approved as being the ideal B-3 
action.  It also looks very close to B-3 waterfall keys with only a very 
slight lip on the end.  The action feels like a new B-3 (before the keys 
get all squeaky and loose).

Yes, we've thought of doing this.  But we must be sure that we're properly 
capitalized before taking on production of such an expensive and complex 
project.  That's the down side to being a small company.
