How about it Spiral, PLEASE!

Glad it was of some use Gene!
I think the total of my ivory knowledge is just about exhausted though., as I said I am just a mere student, 6 years ago I couldnt tell bone from Ivory.
so I set out to learn a little more than the often reapeted antique dealers old wives tales I kept hearing, that are sometimes so misleading. So I both read & also more importantly spoke to instrument makers who buy & use the various types every working day of there lives.
But thankyou for asking.I am flattered.
But sure after a little more research on my part perhaps I can add more of substance at a later date.
