Hi Dave !well then just trick her!! use a suitcase! all you need is a bassdrum pedal and your of and i dont have a full drum allso started whit the suitcase as well now use a kiddy drum cheap and verry small ,but when you stuff it whit foam and tape a wooden disc to the skin you get a good bass sound, and ones you get a pedal, you can try out everything even the wall of the sauna! just so you know !! greeettsszz A.D.

it seems like the most logical place to put em! you dont agree? see your workspace is getting pretty filled up ! do you ever play mine the one you got from uncle J or did you scrap it up?

just letting you know I have not forgotten you my friend. Just ending a long military week end and hoping to start your lap fiddle this coming week end, god willing

So I am wondering if you would mind if I put frets on the one I build for you? I want to fret it dulcimer style so you can play the drone mote as well. Is that something you are interested in? please let me know.

D is usual for me to play in. I tend to make the notes from a dulcimer on my necks as it makes it easier to play and all my favorite songs I learned first on a dulcimer.

I was referring to the two string fiddles posted in your pictures. One has a green bridge and both look really cool and old timey!!

I would be happy to do that. Though my own work is pretty primitive. I build with hand tools only. I will make one soon and if it comes out sounding good I will send it to you. Give me a couple weeks to clear the ukulele I am building now and let me see what I can come up with.

your drawings and the ceramic plates are wonderful my friend!! I was an art major in college back before I became a nurse

by the way, do you sell those 2 stringer? Just thinking I might like one. Let me know if they are or ever in the future become available. Thanks
