I have been a fan of your work for some time now. Your sharing is clear and interesting. I have learned much from your posts. I have a Q about your "Witch's Diddley". I know I can buy bones on the net but I like the chicken bone and was wondering if you treated the bone before use. I got some boners from the store and boiled the meat off then soaked them in bleach water overnight and now they are buried for the ants to pick clean. Am I overdoing it? Thanks JimO

Hi - Thanks for your comment on my latest vid. You asked how I did the recording >> I am putting my cbg through a Line6 Pod XT pro and then into a Yamaha 4416 mixer / hdd recorder along with the microphone and drum track sequenced in Ableton live. But I don't record to the 4416. I take an output from the mixer back into Ableton on my laptop and record the mixdown their. This allows me to easily make multiple recordings and pick the one I like best. Thanks for asking...
Howdy Roy, Thanks for your recent kind comments. Trying to post 'Turn Your GIve A Shitter Way Down Low' on the Romeos. Can not make it work. I get the embed file, copy it and then try to paste it in the Romeos comments and no go.... Suggestions, sir?

One more thing.... have you seen this build? The piezo is isolated at the back and insulated with a foam insert. Would that have an effect on feedback?
