Shit like this happened all the time.So, I'm quick to jump when I see even potential dumb shit. It was obviously just a misunderstanding and a curt response open to bad interpretation. My comment on Ben Abraham, well, we all know he's pretty shifty. Ben Adrian uses a Line 6 wireless. I assume it models a guitar cable. His insinuations to my character should not be taken seriously.1. yes. it models cable capacitance. such is my job.2. favorite, stupid looking wireless3. I'm sorry I thought you were a sexist dick, agient. After looking at your posts, i was reminded that you seem like a good dude with good taste in gear. Big misunderstanding, and I hope I don't seem like a dick. All my best.

For something like a flute, no big deal, but for an instrument that is literally strapped to one's body, design makes a difference.So, it's cool to take all the population into account when designing an instrument rather than half the population. It's cool to do ANYTHING to kill the idea that guitar is a boys club. It's cool to encourage women and girls that they can participate and belong in an area where thy have been both actively and passively discouraged.But... I'm Ben Adrian, not Ben Abraham. Perhaps Ben Abraham just wants more lady musicians to skeeve upon. Perhaps he wants equal rights for all. I'm not sure.

I think (I hope) that agiant meant "HOW" instead of "WHY". The why is evident, but personally im curious what the design differences are.
