Remember Christmas at 7 years old? Couldn't wait! Wondering if you were on the naughty or nice list! Wondering about all those things you should, or should not have done... Relish that feeling again fellow builders!!!

Well, can I resubmit a pic tomorrow of one of the already-submitted builds? I...kinda...modified it. ;-)

Nononono, not as an additional, after-the-fact submission! Just to show how Eric and I kinda think alike, because there was lots of back and forth on his build, with freedom of expression retained... And because it looks kewl. And because I like pushing people's buttons...

Oh, and I got it tuned to A-D-F#, with the addition of two string trees. Just figured out how to play the melody to Wildwood Flower on it in about 5 minutes this morning. It has an interesting unlocatable buzz that I suspect is the cone edge vibrating against the box, or maybe the braid from the rod piezo vibrating against the cone, or maybe it needs string slots in the saddle now. Whatever, I like it, it sounds kinda chorusy. And the rotary engine propeller looks kewl on the headstock round. That's what I meant by...kinda...modified. Will post a vid later today.

It's cool. I was yanking yer chain. Can't wait to hear it!

I haven't had any luck filing string guides in bone bridges. I get buzz every time. Might be the piezo wire or the f#strings being too loose since they are super slinky.

They think your work is fantastic, definitely a contender, sooo many entries, difficult choices here...

You know. They'll be " judicious." >:-E

What you really wanna know is "Did I win? And if not, who did?"
