The soundboard is 1/8" luan mahagony stripped off a discarded interior door. Hey vinylhed a weedwhacker in the US is a whippersnipper in Australia not sure about U.K. terminology. We use it to trim grass and replacement strings are pretty cheap in various diameters.

I want to thank you Jim I was going to the hardware store today and in my head  I start singing                                          SAVIN NIKCLES SAVIN DIMES.  that thing sure does project well.  How thick is the soundboard?

Such a great Idea for a standup base including the string. And beyond the the home made instrument the man can sing!!! I like the rendition of Blue Bayou allot.

Marvelous! What exactly are the strings, I'm not familiar with the terminology?

Thanks Diane,James,,Junksville and all others for the comments. Yeah Junksville that's a good Midnight Special on some cool instruments. Yeah Silent Jim don't forget Roy Orbison! And I'm workin' on the slapping WMP probably not right on this song even if I could do it. Oh yeah, I like those fiddles and dulcis of yours Diane!
