Hello Crid,

sounds very nice about you making an instrument. I am looking forward to seeing some photos and perhaps hearing what it sounds like.
Regarding uploading files I would reccomend you contact Jacques Richard (see his post bellow) as he speaks French and will be able to offer you assistance.
Greetings,
George.
