The Ch`in is bridgeless and played differently, but still a long zither, and so much of the same relaxing effect can be drawn from either. Also, the song is Soundsmith. -- Avery Ray Colter {apple|claris}!netcom!avery {decwrl|mips|sgi}!btr!elfcat (415) 839-4567 "I feel love has got to come on and I want it: Something big and lovely!" - The B-52s, "Channel Z"
