Re: IT'S ALIVE !!!!!

No cigars please. They'll muck up the reeds and stink up the bellows.

Re: IT'S ALIVE !!!!!

Congrats Rusty. As Maz said we need pics!

Re: IT'S ALIVE !!!!!

Way to go Rusty. This is an accomplishment that you can well be proud of.
So tell us, are they over priced, as some might suggest?
BTW, are you tuning the reeds yourself ?

Re: Re: IT'S ALIVE !!!!!

I will have some instruction on one row, the other three will be up to me !! I can tell you that the time it takes to put into these boxes and come out with the results to make you guys happy is almost immeasurable. I could not believe how much of an intricate art this really is. Sure, someone could put one together but to make it sound and play and not take air like it should is a whole other ball of wax ! I don't feel that these things are over priced, if someone is willing to pay thousands for guitars which come off of assembly lines, then I can't see why they would have an issue with something that is totally hand crafted and specifically made for that individual... IMHO of course !
