I still want to get the MP3 thing going though. I'll still get on it. Sorry if I might have offended you about the moving microphone. I find it distracting to your sound. Part of it is from my past experience. I have a friend who likes to wear his recorder like a body camera. He would move around while we'd play to record. I never liked that sound. Just personal preference. Keep doing what you do Andries. I love your art Andries. Keep it ON! :^)

At 11:34pm on August 3, 2016, Uncle John said…: Thanks, Andries. Two of my three big box tenors come close or do achieve the sound I am after. And the volume. The third is a bit quiet unplugged.

At 3:18pm on July 26, 2016, Jim Morris said…: Hey Andries, mine is an old Morley Steve Vai wah that I haven't used for years. I also have one built in to my Line 6 amp that I don't like very much. The music I play now doesn't call for that sound much but I still like it. The first time I remember using one is on the theme from Shaft. Do you remember that?

At 2:56pm on July 26, 2016, Derek Rose said…: Yup Andries! DEEEP down in the DNA!

At 1:12am on July 25, 2016, Jim Morris said…: I used some dark stain and some shellac on the last one and i don't think it changed the volume very much. The box I used was bigger than your hourglass so that might be part of the reason.

At 11:55am on July 23, 2016, AGP # said…: I guess it all depends on what type of lacquer you use as to whether it affects the sound etc., when I do use lacquer I use a commercial 'Brushable French Polish', which is a mixture of Shellac Flakes and Spirits, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect the sounds/tone etc.

At 12:36am on July 23, 2016, Jim Morris said…: Yup Andries, not a cigar box but the teardrop dulcimer is a very traditional shape and yours has a great sound!

At 4:01pm on July 21, 2016, Derek Rose said…: Thanks Andries! Enjoy your music and support and friendship!

At 12:03pm on June 28, 2016, Derek Rose said…: Hi Andries, here is a picture of my first electric. I didn't play in any bands myself since many of my friends did and they were EXTREMELY better than me! :) But I still learned a lot of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Zeppelin, Rush, etc. though I always played more acoustic stuff than anything, like Jim Croce, James Taylor, Beatles, and the Eagles of course.
