I tried looking at those on line.  Did not find much in the way of building.   Amazing that the string is noted by finger only -not finger on fret board.  You sound pretty darn good.   I could recognize Stairway To Heaven right away.

Kidding.  But you do sound good,

Interesting! That's a new one on me I do think violin strings would work a bit better - I've tried bowing uke strings and the bow just won't grab very well. Thanks for sharing this Matt!

That's a cool instrument and a neat build.

Kind of gives an old time vintage recording sound. Reminds me of a bowed psaltery.

Wot?   Interesting instrument.   I misread the title and expected a song about your Shetland pony going to the GLUE factory.   Good basis for a song.

Gonna see if you have photos of this hope you do.  Will check these out.  Thanks!

Don't worry i like your built man, but the other doesn't seems to know this instrument so i will put a video of a comercial one !! The man doesn't play way better than you don't worry !! But just something i will still to the commercial a real violon tailpiece !! And cause i don't trust uke tuners mostly with this tension, maybe Banjo tuners or violon again, that's all !! But honestly well done, it's just to show a real one to the other on the forum !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6Z6gKFdZew

"Yeah, Sweet", never heard of a Shetland Gue, "Til Now", another one to add to the bucket list of builds!!
