Nice!  Very convincing on the wound strings, the highlights on the plain
ones look a little soft though.  If you're using phong I'd say a higher
phong_size.

This topic is one I'd really like to participate in, but I've been home only
about a week total in the last two months, so doubt I'll get something done
in time. I've got a couple ideas started, but neither looks like it'll
develop to a point I'd submit it by the deadline :-(

Why, oh why couldn't this topic have waited til next round!
