Okay, I thought about it for a little while and decided to order two of each
of the three lengths. They are something that Grant and I talked about in
the distant past when discussing the merits of various patch chord types.
We always said that there was no reason that 1/4" or 1/8" chords couldn't
be stackable and TipTop did it. But still eight bucks a pop...........
