SHRINK KITTEN - Handmade by Thorsten
Hi, I'm Thorsten.
I started building CBGs in Feb 2011 when I had to run a school music project that combined instrument production, playing and history.
So I came to CBGs. I've been absolutely fascinated by those instruments on the CBN site. Since then I have built some slide-guitars, a ukulele bass and currently work on different instruments like Ukulele Bass, dulcimer, soprano and baritone uke etc.
I'm singer/songwriter in two bands/projects: SUGIMUGI and TRICKSTER FLINT.
Shrink Kitten is the name of my cigar box instrument production line or "brand name". All instruments have cat's names so far. I use boxes which I get for free from local shops but I've also started to make my own boxes.

Hoi Thorsten, ein CBG-player in Nenzing. Das ist ja echt cool. Ich warte noch auf meine 1. GBG, die ich von ChickenboneJohn auf meinen Wunsch anfertigen lasse. Hoffentlich taucht das Ding bald auf, da kann ich mal auf einer 3-saitigen Kiste rumhobeln. Werde wohl etwas üben müssen - haha.
Schöne Grüße, Willi
hi thorsten,
album is now live enjoy
Hey Thortsen, I don't hit the friend button much so thanks, always wanted too visit the Alps. We have the Sierra Mtns. here I did alot of backpacking when I was young. I got hurt and haven't done more then a few day hikes in the last 20 years, I bet you get a kick out of playing Dobro. Take Care.
As increasingly happens, I could have sworn we were already Nation Friends. Glad we are now. I can't say thank you enough for all the time, effort and talent you've put into the TVZ tribute! You are a treasure.
I reposted the guitar track for 2Hands.
Cheers, Thorsten :)
thanks for the comment man .
No Thorsten, i didn't build this wonderful CBG. they are from Olivier ( Tinqui8) I've met him in the south of France last summer. He's a wonderful Guitar player and singer also. I'm going to try to build my own CBG, but i don't know if i can play guitar, so wait and see. :-)
Patrik.
