Fine striker Frank! I ran some of Steve's strikers on my pots in Nashville. They ran real well. 
They run most pot's pretty darn well. But as we all know you have to match strikers to pots and vise versa. Steve's strikers may not be a perfect match for a pot. Yet the added sound qualities they provide are truly unique. I love them for that reason. I see now I will have to add another of dog wood to my growing stable of hollow body strikers....

That is truly one fine piece of dog wood and a wonderful example of Steve's art.
