That's a marvelous instrument. A very elaborate build which should "Reel"in some interest!

Not technically a CBG, but here it is.  I've since added 15 frets by wrapping mechanic's wire around the neck, intonating each one as I went.  The spinner hits the string twice each revolution, but not at equal intervals.  It's a bit of a one-trick-pony novelty instrument than it is actually useful and musical.  But it was fun to build.
