Some fantastic instruments here!
I'm intrigued about the banjo that morfs from a banjo into a banjo/guitar (my potuguese is non existant), can you explain the steps that you went through on this build?

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

Eu estive numa feira de domingo por aqui e me pediram 90 reais por uma caixa (vazia) de charutos, os caras vendem isso como antiguidades...eu também fui em algumas tabacarias e não tive sorte, acho que eu mesmo vou começar a fazer as caixas por aqui, com aquelas juntas de encaixe que os marceneiros fazem. Qualquer coisa é só falar. abraço.
