Ok, Tom,you and Janet have convinced me. Yesterday I ordered a lacquer Celebration from Flip. Turned out he had silver in stock but no lacquer so he's sending me a new one he set up for himself. I've played the Wild Thing before but found that the #1 slide was asking for too much air. Otherwise I thought it was great. From what I have read in this and other threads the Celebration ought to be just right. I particularly enjoyed (and found useful) the comments made by Tom's wife in another of Tom's reports on the Celebration.

Regards,
Dave Taylor
