Itty Bitty cigar box ukulele
dismount:
Wow!!! Is there anything you can't build??? how many hours scraping that sound board? All of them I bet. No no quitting day work, nobody here would give a Brass Farthing for my stuff. (You got me in a midevel English mood) Yes I will be going up in the Yukon this summer so I can get my uke on. You're a regular Bob Hope ;D ;D Dis
Hillbilly:
That's pretty cool. Now all you need is a itty-bitty Marshall half-stack. ;D Piper, you ever build any f-style mandolins?
islandpiper:
Sorry, no F-style mandos, and for the same reason i don't wear a necktie. They look nice but serve no purpose.
My mandos are a two-point sort of A-style, based on a 1924 Regal.

Nice work Piper!
Dismount - a Kantele or Kannel looks sorta like an Autoharp but with fewer strings; comes from Finland and that part of the world. A Rebec is a medieval 1-3 string mini-fiddle. Both of them are made from a hollowed out slab body - not pieces of thin wood glued together as you can see Piper is doing. In one district in Spain they make them using an old wooden shoe as the body! Buy a pair of shoes, make his 'n hers Rebecs!
