I recommend that you ask that question (with the pictures) in the Vibrola section where the luthiers hang out. :)
Thank You, I was wondering bout that. :)

I've never been to the top, just hike and photographed around the Portal area; wonderful place, as are many places I have camped and hiked in the Sierras. 8)

There is a cabin at the top of Whitney, I worked with a woman who's grandfather built it!
