I`ve been building homemade instruments for a long time now but this one is the best sounding build to date...hands down! unplugged it sounds just like a reso, but plugged in the 4 rod bridge sounds awesome. I did install a mag under the metal part but now wished i would of stuck 2 or 3 in there. With the seperate inputs i can use 2 amps at once...i plan on another washboard build down the road, but not another harp. Took some advise from Merle and screwed down the fretboard, will make a guitar fretted one later so i can switch in. Yeah i`m very pleased with how it turned out...great sound !!

To reach its full potential you'll need to grow two more arms or two players.

Way cool it just looks right. The learning curve will be worth it. Veryvery nice!
