Thanks Randy. I think that is a cool idea. I was looking around at tamborines, but most do not adjust so the constant pressure of the strings may have had a effect on keeping it in tune. I think I might give one a shot sometime.

Hey Joe, got it off ebay. 8" tuneable hand drum with a maple rim. Very nice should work great for the pot on my dulci-jo build. If it turns out to be the ticket for this kind of build I want to get another one but a 10" next time.

Thanks for the comment and the question Joe. if you go to the first page of my pics and look for the one that says guts 1, you will see what i did, the strings go through the top and the neck but not the bottom. i can open that box even when strung up.

Joe, Thanks for the comment on my strum stick. I would really like to see larger pictures of your six string one. I have tired old eyes and the little pictures are very hard to see. Why so small pictures?

You have some real nice work here yourself.
