Theremin & Amp

Posted on December 24, 2009 at 5:15pm 4 Comments

Banty Rooster Blues

"Very nice and interesting looking build. The guitar has a good growl and tin bucket tone! Your rendition is a lot closer to RJ's Terraplane Blues than CP's Banty. Regardless,  very nice performance and thanks for sharing.…"

thank you so much. I plan to try to build one as soon as I get some free time. I appreciate the advice.

I am very interested in your fiddle gurdy. Did you make the crank and wheel smaller than the 3 inches one D havlena describes? Any tips for a guy who wants to build one.
