Thanks for your comments you guys. Hope to get Vinnie to play it at the PNW festival next year. Jim, this floss was unflavored, the kind your dentist gives you for free at your checkup. Nice with a glass slide, just can't play when it's too hot, gets kind of sticky.

Sweet. I like everything about this - the dental floss strings are the cherry on top.
