Yes the larger ones, they are pricey but for a hard core Keith's lover they are unique. If your in the city let me know I have a wine box here if you want it, I can sent a pic and dimensions if you want. The storm has changed to rain here in the last 30 minutes, I better go shovel.
Talk to you later
Scott, check out this link bro. It's the digital recording studio I was mentioning earlier today....and right now I paid more for just the Music Maker...than all whats there for 49.99.
Reeds!

Scott
Im working on another Dulcimer and I made a hollow or 3 piece fret board. I have a small speaker from a smoke detector and was going to use it as a pickup
1 do you think it will work ok as usually i have used piezo's from alarms but this is actually a small speaker with a Mylar like cone
2 were would be the best place to put it , inside the 3 piece fret board
Thanks
Mike
