    "Nice Quacker", well played Dave!  :-)

  • Fine playing nice build sounds good Dave We love to go to the Lake and feed the Ducks lots of Mallards

  • Dave she sure sounds sweet, best sounding mallard I have heard in a while.

  • 306702435?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024You play so sweetly Dave makes me feel like I'm floating over the forest.... (nice build to)Meowww^,,^

  • Mighty nice!

  • And thanks for the slides and great tin. 

  • Thanks Wes. Thanks Uncle. I like the heavier strings for slide action. I learned that from Cindy Cashdollar. It’s like a tightrope. Much easier to do if the wire is taught. Also the tone will be better. It’s real twangy if the string is slack but more pure if tight. Uncle, thanks for the Mallard. She’s a sweet thing.

  • Dave, those are some really lovely sounds, tone and playing.   I am glad you modified the Mallard.  Good to make it your own.  Good idea on using the tauter string.  I may try that. 

    My theory on slide noise and knock is that a little is fine, maybe even good and soulful.

  • Thanks Andries, Bones, Richard. I think the neck colors come from leftover paint from Uncle and Linda’s rec room makeover. :*)
