I just sent John a big carton of the Fuente King B and Queen B boxes he likes to use for Lowebows... and most of them were plywood instead of MDF! He tells me there will soon be a Lowebow with my name on it...

Bob, never mind on that question. I looked it up and most of the Purgatory Hill Harps are bass D and then DAD. This has got me thinking about trying a bass G and then a GD.

Cool, Bob and neat guitar. The Lowebows are a bass string plus just two more strings???

ive seen John 2 times video and recordings dont do john justus. the 1st chord john hit was like BANG!!!! Knock me out. thats what dont come thru recorded its powerful free flowing. he tunes to himself and has his owen timing. i bought a Hill Harp from him well made instrument. no noise. im still trying to learn how to play it. im a fan of Johnny Lowebow and a friend of John Lowe P.S. only a guitar made by John Lowe is a true Loewbow out of respect to the innovator.;

All of the videos I took down there are too damn short... next year I need to take a videographer along.
