Final Notes:
Jim Moss has been recording the next Wakefield/Moss Bluegrass Instrumental Project
with the vacuum tube mic preamp / processor.  The tone of the F5 and the Fiddle when 
passed through this amp, are just huge and extremely rich with warmth.

The preamp is not for all types of music as it is being specifically designed for acoustic 
bluegrass instruments, and mostly the mandolin, fiddle and banjo although it will be 
flexible enough to do normal functions too.  The unit will eventually be made available 
from ww.candlewater.com as part of a Pro-Audio product line under the Mossware LLC
product label.  All that is left is the completion of the design of the rack mount packaging.

Work has begun on the new Jim Moss Fiddle Instructional DVD.
