way ahead of you daddy... :D, great idea

mostly loose guitar strings penny, with strategic use of bronze / nickel steel to help me find my place and one red one for the key centre in the middle there, there is a couple of em from music wire tho, yep..  unwound guitar strings are the same thing anyway..

mr foolish, the bridges are windchimes, tuned to 3 octaves of G

this thing is in G moo-olydian of course

I don't know what to do with the 3-strings I have now; I damn sure wouldn't know what to do with that. But I'd love to figure it out. That thing is wild.

Moooooooooo......wowzers thats insane effy !!!! yeah that dovetail joint won`t work with pressure like that on it, you should of just did a straight sided slot and some good epoxy. Pat on the back for the effort of trying the dovetail though. Even if you don`t win the build off, i`m still going to send you something special for this insane lookin build.

That one sturdy Moo - are they piano wires? I too am waiting for the vid.

So glad you tried the dovetail joint I was considering something similar for attaching the head on my next build - you've save me some grief - I owe you a beer ; )

Jef,

Hahahaha! Love it! It's constructed somewhat similarly to a two-gourd sitar. I dig the pieces of rusted swingset  ladder, it it?, that you used for the bridges and string hold-downs. Sorry about the dovetail break; looks like it broke parallel to the grain, due to the string tension. Maybe next one cut it cross-grain? Or am I just seeing saw burn marks? PLease post a vid; can;t wait to hear it!
