"Thanks Doug", this is the 6th one using this type of Aluminium Steamer, and in my opinion, they do sound great, will repost a Vid from back in 2018, where I used a Baritone Scale Build, very similar to this one. :-)
"Thanks UJ", love all my 13 Steamer Basket Builds, including this latest "Low Dob" (aka Low Dobro Tuning) build, lovely sounding tuning, but will have to find out how best to use it ;-)
