Thanks Paul!  It sounds great too - now I just need to learn how to play it. :)

Thanks for the comment!  

 

I did cut the sound hole out of the lid with a scroll saw, but I didn't carve out to reduce the thickness of the soundboard. It is a compressed paper box instead of solid wood and I was concerned about making it too weak for the tail piece I used.   I was able to save the yellow and black Partagas emblem from the center of the lid and laminate it onto the headstock - really happy with how that turned out. One of the other pictures in the album has a good close up of that.

Looks great! I like the standing up-feature too.

Did you use the lid as delivered or did you carve it on the inside?
