I just bought a"Pure and Simple" Flying Bridge Model #1 from C. B. Gitty and plan on modifying that. I have never built a guitar or ukulele but have done a dulcimer. So I will use this to get started and then will see about building a couple of 2,3,4 & more stringed thingies. I make flutes and have done dijeridoo, birimbau and a few other odd instruments. I play harmonica, Native American Flute, Pennywhistle and a few other end and side blown flutes. I Need to play something that I can sing along with so will try the simple guitars first. I am glad at 62 I can start adding to my music and creative skills and learn from you who have contributed to this CBG group called Cigar Box Nation.
