TikiMan- a new washtub

Here's my latest washtub standup. I'm still using a #2 oval (a Dover, this time- I've been using Cubasa; they're narrower and shallower. I'm liking the sound out of the Dover better). I'm working on tweaking the rim shape- this dude is more egg than oval. Still a 43+" 4/4 scale. I've got a lot to learn on this, and I think I'll go to a 41-ish" scale next time. The neck is running a 9.5" top radius.Still, it plays, and at least I think it looks cool.

Started to learn how to play my Dulcimer this year, joined a club and that has really help in learning. On the FOTMD sites members from here were joining, so i wandered over here and looked around and liked what i… Continue
