"Fun. How does it sound? I was interested in NCfiddlers aproach, letting the box float over a hardwood frame. Accoustic J"

"Well done so far!  I've shaped one, and it surely does take a long time to get it just right -- especially if you are already a fiddler and know how far it has to go!"

"1/2 violin build. I have had this box for 45 years as a junk box and started playing fiddle about 4 years ago. Thanx to Met Music for parts"
