At 11:32am on November 15, 2009, Doug Thorsvik said…: Thanks for the details on scale length and tuning. I'm always curious as to how others are doing things. You are building some very cool instruments.

At 5:38am on November 8, 2009, rodney fruits said…: Thanks Lowe. I gutted a few T.V. sets years ago and still have some old wire left... The blade pickup sounds different because i wind the bobbin shorter and fatter, more bass and mids. I like them on my CBG's, and the same pickup can be used on 1,2,3, or 4 stringers. i hope that answers yur guestion... keep buildin cool stuff..

At 1:52pm on October 16, 2009, Dianne Woods said…: Nice CBGs, great ideas.

At 10:56am on October 14, 2009, Nathan King said…: Old Lowe... thanks for your comments on my video man, it means a lot to me. I really dig your style, both playing and building... so thanks again!

At 2:12pm on September 29, 2009, Benjimen Peck said…: Hey man thanks for the friend request!

At 8:50am on September 22, 2009, Keni Lee Burgess said…: I have always been highly impressed by the craftsmanship and tone of the guitars built by tinyguitars. Most buliders here on the Nation build strickly electric. You are certainly up there in my humble opinion as one of the best acoutical builders too. Everytime you post a video of one of your latest creations, I know I am in for a treat. Keep up the nice work.

At 11:07am on September 8, 2009, Diane in Chicago said…: Just paired up high strings? Silly me, I should have guessed that. I love paired strings, especially octave pairings.

At 4:24pm on September 1, 2009, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Thank you for your comment about my busking video. Well, basically here there is only one more week till labor day and the kids go back to school. It seems like everybody is finished with their summer vacations and they go back to the same old grind. Summer goes just too fast. Enjoy.

At 8:27am on August 24, 2009, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee

At 1:44am on August 15, 2009, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Yes, your perspective is true. I guess everyone is out there just trying to make a buck. If it is free, someone will figure out a way to lay claim to it and make you pay for it. You know NYC Mayor Bloomberg stated we are free because we have laws. We are a country of law. Yikes!!! Does anyone remember natural or inalienable rights? Just because you can...doesn't mean you should. (Stepping down from soapbox now LOL)

At 12:25pm on August 14, 2009, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Well, in NYC the law on the book states, you don't need a permit to play on the streets if you use no amplification. So, why a permit for Times Square.? On the subways I've never had a problem. Actually, performers are usually nice to each other. You don't want to involve the Police. On the street, they tell you to move, if you don't, that is refusing a lawful order by a Police office. Then there is creating a public disturbance, blocking the sidewalk.......etc. What most people don't understand is you have civil rights only when you don't use them. If people tried to use them, they would be shocked by the truth. I think we are all going to suffer for our indifference to not support those who fight.

At 10:39am on August 14, 2009, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Thank you for all your warm wishes. After years of playing "in" NYC (and I mean "in" as in under the ground LOL), I will have the opportunity to be on the actual streets and not worry about the Police. I learned this Rev. Gary Davis song "Oh Glory" or "How Happy I Am" from Woody Mann many years ago. The melody line just popped back into my head the other day. I never meet the Naked Cowboy, but it seems only the woman love him. Hey but he is out there fighting for "Free Speech" You got to respect that. LOL Enjoy.

At 3:02am on July 18, 2009, Roosterman said…: Gotta get it working yet Lowe - Im no electrician! Gonna try and find something suitable today and see if I can make it glow :o)

At 9:29pm on July 16, 2009, Roosterman said…: Hey Lowe, thanks or the comments on ma amp - gotta install lights now!!

At 4:35pm on July 13, 2009, rodney fruits said…: thanks for the comment Lowe. that macanudo was great for a paper covered box. i guess it was made with good wood, light and tight.
