Yes the larger ones, they are pricey but for a hard core Keith's lover they are unique. If your in the city let me know I have a wine box here if you want it, I can sent a pic and dimensions if you want. The storm has changed to rain here in the last 30 minutes, I better go shovel.

Talk to you later

Reeds!

Im working on another Dulcimer and I made a hollow or 3 piece fret board. I have a small speaker from a smoke detector and was going to use it as a pickup

1 do you think it will work ok as usually i have used piezo's from alarms but this is actually a small speaker with a Mylar like cone

2 were would be the best place to put it , inside the 3 piece fret board

Thanks

Mike

When we spoke last week you were saying if you use piezos run them in series but were you placing them side by side or one at the neck and one at the bridge or does it mater

Thanks

At 5:12am on April 8, 2011, BLY said…: Hi Scott, I am in the process of completing and posting the schematic as well as parts list and some basic instructions. If you have not worked with tube amps before it would be a good idea to find someone to help you. One major concern is learning how to work with the high voltages found in tube amps. Safety is a big concern. Knowing where and where not to touch and where the high voltages reside inside of the amp is a must. Once you get the hang of it it should be fairly easy for you to build this amp. -Joe
