Dreaming...

Posted on March 3, 2010 at 1:11am 0 Comments

Had a dream about classes showing kids to building their own instruments (CBGs, flutes/recorders, stomp boxes (and other drums), kalimbas, etc.) and then teaching them how to play.

"Imagine..." - John Lennon

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
