    Thanks Uncle John. It has been quite a labour, but an exciting project. I even had to do all the blueprints from some net info a pictures.

    Its the first of a very long project, making at least one piece of all the tradicional string instruments from Portugal.

    here is the list of all of them except the Cavaquinho, that is not on that list.

    Very nice,  Paulo.  Had not seen you for  a while.  This project must be keeping you busy.   I like it all, but especially the mustache bridge.   I listened to the video.  Beautiful.

    Very sharp, traditional instruments are great to see. I like the narrow waist of the body...like a woman.
