Mike  Thats an Artec boost board  You  can probably find em on Ebay  

A pleasure. I'll speak to Chicken Bone John in the next week or two and keep you posted about any get-together. Keep on playing, it's all good...

Thank you for the comment on my latest video. I'm only in Worcester so if ever you fancy a get-together I'd be happy to do so. I'm hoping that Chicken Bone John will do some beginners 'playing' workshops before too long. Thanks again...

hey david, yeah deer antler isn`t as dense as bone. Plus sometimes the core of the antler isn`t developed enough and can be really soft. I have used antler in the past, but still perfer cow bone for nuts and saddles. I would suggest that if you do want to use the antler for a nut, bridge or saddle that instead of using the whole antler that you try and cut around the core [ middle of the antler ]. Now if your using a small diameter tine the core might be fully developed, but some are some aren`t. Hope this helps...thx for the friends invite.

Hi David ... Ooops! I think I got the 'wrong end of the stick' with your question about using the lipstick as a bridge. I thought you meant bridge pickup. The strings do not touch the lipstic, but the pic looks as though they might. Hope that's cleared it up! B-)

hi thanks dave ya hard to get a shine on ceder got it after a bit .

Hi Dave

good to hear from you. I dropped a line to Andy this morning mentioning that I have been talking to a couple of guys about getting a Deeep South regional event arranged. Nothing to heavy and I would like to encourage tryers as much as flyers to attend the event. I'ts early days yet, but Lost Tone from Brighton(the guy with the fantastic drum machine) and Jez (longshanks are definately interested. We could aim for something in the new year and of course you would be most cordially invited for the weekend, keep in touch, Jerry.

Hiya, yep, it'd be my pleasure mate! We drank the place dry on Saturday tho.!
