Hi Sam,

 

I've been looking for a CBUke for a while now and I am interested in the one you have for sale. Does it have any sound holes on the side? I'd like to talk with you a little more about it when you have a chance.

If you follow the link and look at the other pics, you will see a sound hole in the back... It is a vintage cedar box with a birch ply back to stablize it... it has a nice bright tone and reasonable volume...  a wide finger board and string spacing for large fingered players like me..... ;-0....

 

If you want I can do some close up pics... or you can call or text me at  316.655.0423

 

thanks,

 

Sam

Thanks,  Yea, I may "go dark" for a couple weeks getting internet stuff sorted out... but, I'll be lurking no matter and should be back strong later.... But, that's still set for end of June... a little time to clean out the shop before then....

Sam if that resonator banjo is still there when I get home I think it will be fate, or the lord telling me it is supposed to be mine. If you can sell it in the next few weeks go ahead, there will be a message in that too. If not I will contact you when I get back into the states to purchase it. Hope you are feeling well.

Matt,

 

I've had no interest in it, even though I love how it plays, so.... I imagine it well could be available... if it goes I'll build another just for you.....  Thanks for the "well" wishes..  I am totally asympamatic.... which is a little wierd... but on balance good.  Surgery on May 2, ... three weeks.  I'm eager to get it over with...

 

Stay safe....

the best,

 

Sam
