I don't know about the Zephyr, but I've camped out with my 27 string
Folkcraft and played by campfires, on top of windy crags, in below freezing
temperatures as well as in tents, camping vans, motels, lean-tos - you name
it. Aside from a bit of tweaking to tune up, I've been able to entertain the
sometimes much less than a throng. By way of explanation, I'm also an
amateur astronomy buff and attend Star Parties and telescope conventions as
well as traveling to dark mountain sites with a telescope to view the
wonders of the night sky. A bit of harping lightens the sometimes long waits
for clear moments. I've also become adept at playing in the dark! But I do
use a dark red filtered light at times, which is primarily for star chart
reading but allows for a bit of placing when playing. It plays havoc with
the red and blue strings though. <G> 8^D... Happy harping,
>>Whoa! By the campfire? What about the temperature changes? What about

>>And what about all those photo shoots for tape and CD covers outdoors in

>>I've got my humidifiers going inside where it's a stable 70 degrees all
>>the time. No worries. Can I be just as happy outdoors?
