Hi All,
Just applied a first coat of clear over this new baby.
Will be having a sunburst finishing later.
It has 7 strings and played like a fretless.
Wishing you all a Joyous & Blessed Christmas!
Jeff

I don't understand it at all, but it is really cool looking. Is it like a lap guitar, or a steel guitar? It is quite interesting. If I had ever seen one before, I'd say it looked perfect! :D

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you too, Jeffery.

I have to agree with Waddy. That's the nicest one of those I've ever seen! Do you know how to play it Jeff?

Cheers,
Danny

Looks like the strings go on the side shown in the last picture.
Would you mind showing us a picture of one strung up!

Is that a braced box with soundholes? Can we get a soundclip when it is strung up?

Thanks guys.
I've learned and played this a while ago, its fun!
Here is a link where she gave a good intro to this instrument.

It looks something like this when its done.
I'm using the guitar style of construction compared to its ancient method and materials.

Hi Guys,
Just added a cherry burst, will take a break for now.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
Jeff

The top is carved with a tone bar at the center, the back is braced.

Sorry cannot add on a FR but you can do tapping on it.

Taken together with my friend Prof Hew.
Thanks for looking!
Jeff
