Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee

Thank you for the quick response, yes thats just what I thought. The square bowls from the philippines are about 10 1/2' sq and about 2' or more deep.

How loud are your blues bowls with the neck on the lid, is the neck glued to the neck for more sound. I can get square wooden bowls at Wal Mart from the Philippines my wifes country and thought of making a guitar out of that.
Thanks Roger

Beautiful work.

Bowls are great! I don't turn my own, but I'd certainly like to try a bowlish instrument, myself. Your certainly look great! Welcome!

Very cool and distinctive instruments. You've got a low-tech ovationish look happening with wood instead of plastic/fiberglass. I like them and am looking forward to watching your designs evolve.

raymond,if you look at my profile i built about ten guitars before i ever got my hands on a real cigarbox,so you got some real cool looking projects going on, all solid wood with distinguishable characteristics to them, you have made a statement with your designs. i like these guitars,the only thing i have in resmblance is a brass lamp guitar.it was fun to build but i,ll bet it was not as fun to build as one of your guitars. good work man.
