Re: Vintage JT-30

["IronMan Mike Curtis" <ironman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Crystal elements don't last forever.  They're made of water soluble rochelle
salts.  After a while, they absorb water, weaken, and eventually die.

But - as they're on their way out, the sound mellows.  A lot of players
prefer this type of sound.
