Looks really good Ian. Great work.
Thanks, maestro, but don't look too closely! Like all firstborns, this one has been through the mill of trial and error. I have enough material to rebuild a neater one, though tbh I've enough ideas for another 10 or so.with different features, and most of all I'd like to switch to a fretted cigar-box style that I might even get around to learning to play with stiffening fingers.
It's been real fun, though, not least in the discovery of a whole wacky homemade instrument subculture, from the US (www.youtube.com/watch?v=FACWC5tdbJQ www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOUlgYCX_Uw) even to Russia (www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpFnLdDybvQ ) [Have shortened these 3 URLs to avoid congestion - type in https:// first in each case]
For anybody interested in building, there are loads of books (eg http://www.amazon.co...trument factory ) + YouTube videos etc..
