Thanks for the warm welcome!
Hehe, no. I have no tattoos, but if I were ever to get one, that would be high on my list of possible designs. I like that expression for it.
Also, I searched & found (more than) a few threads on the subject of string length, but I'm still a bit confused. I read something about long strings making it harder for the top to turn over. I measured mine, found out I had a 78" string & proceeded to cut off 6 or 7". I'm having a lot better luck getting it to turn over now, but I'm wondering if it still might be a little long for a beginner like me. I don't want to keep trimming string & end up with something way too short though. Should that length be OK for me & my BK?
