The preamp is not for all types of music as it is being specifically designed for acoustic  bluegrass instruments, and mostly the mandolin, fiddle and banjo although it will be  flexible enough to do normal functions too.  The unit will eventually be made available  from ww.candlewater.com as part of a Pro-Audio product line under the Mossware LLC product label.  All that is left is the completion of the design of the rack mount packaging. Work has picked up on the Wakefield/Moss Bluegrass Instrumental Project again.  Just out are 2 new banjo tab books: "Through The Windshield" Banjo Tab Book. Through The Windshield Banjo Tab Book For the CD of the same name with  Jim Moss, Bob Black, Jeff Smith, David Thompson, Paul Squyres  -- "Tanyards" Banjo Tab Book.
