So I really like the idea of taking non-musical parts and making a musical instrument, or at the very least, making the part yourself. Using machine heads is sort of like cheating to me and sort of kills the spirit of "this something I threw together with crap I found in my garage."
Thanks.

hey its an internet forum. for coversating and otherwise wasting time. If we weren't suppose to post they would delete them.
First, third, fourth and thirteenth answer to a tech question on here is always "use the search." Someone does and then someone says "you know how old this thread is?"
Hahahaha.
I can't get that "search" to work - always comes back with Nada - check you spelling etc.
Worst Photoshop EVER! Hahaha!
Whoa - those strings look pretty tight !! I'm gonna keep watching to see if they hold!!
I love it when old threads resurface. this just reinforces the "no rules means be creative".
Found this on Youtube recently:

Interesting variation of an Uncle Crow hybrid, both with the stick-across method and the tuners...
I have tried to twist the strings to make torsion tuning.
I works quite well:

So has anyone tried Zither Pins yet? I found some and tried a build or two-the down side is that you probably want a tuning wrench...
i saw an instructable about a diy $7,-- guitar were the builder used them succesfully.
i get what you're saying. Since i want to make a cbg the quick an ddirty style i woun't be using the machine heads, because that would mean taking an instrument appart that i might wanna sell in the future. CBG's appeal to me because people use to make best with what they've had to make what they want. If i would have some machine heads laying around i would use them to enhance the sound of the instrument and reliability.
