hey john i see we are friends on c.b.n. very kool i live in ft.collins co. it would be great to get together some time. are you a bulider or a player. i work tue. thru sat. sunday is good for me let me know.

HI John I do not have any photos of the back side I will have to turn it over and take some Its pretty much just like a banjo I left a 3/4 X 3/4 stick on the neck when I made it so it goes all the way through with a wood block I used for a nut on the other side and a long screw holding it all together . I will take some photos of it that mite help was a fun project . I have made several for friends and relatives the kids really like them . it all needs to be cut to fit the shape of the pan . I used a 8 in cake pan I got at the local Dollar store .

Hey John,

I made this one on a whim...followed my instincts. Has a chunk of rock maple been staring at me for over a year, and got the inspiration to turn it into the walking stick bass thru a suggestion from my dad.

No plans done on it, but I do plan on doing more to diversify my line of guitar offerings.

Good to know your so close. I'll be going to Florida for about a week should be home by the 10th Nov. My email is peterclarke20@comcast.net Phone is 303-862-9988. I live real close to Lincoln & Jordan Rd.

Hi John, I believe that you were asking about slide playing on ukuleles. I regularly play slide on a cigar box baritone ukulele and a "regular" baritone ukulele. I use steel baritone ukulele strings on both instruments as nylon doesn't seem to work well. The cigar box ukulele is for electric use and sounds great. I normally use Spanish tuning in the key of G.

I have built a reso style CBG but I used an upturned pie dish for the cone,

Banjo uke is looking adorable. Can't wait to see/hear it strung up. : )

Nice Ukes.

Howdy John, been a few years since the wife and I have been to CO for skiing, but it is magnificent! Gotta be great to sit and strum to that view!

Hi,

   John Hopper, the reso uke  and spoot tail piece man.  I'm glad to have you for a nation friend.   I like your builds, the Tabak one for sure.  I like your photo.  You look like a grizzled cavalry man.

John
