love it, love its sound, well built, and he sent lots of goodies with it...slides, music..ceegars, even...
it is the 'indios' one pictured on '3-strings' page ( with the great sound holes).
JMc is fabulous to deal with...love that song of his, too.
someday maybe i'll be able to play it...even half as well as he did would be fine, but i'm very clumsy with the slide as i normally play individual notes...but i is trying and slowly getting better..z.

love your pics and builds...will check out your vids.
i lived in ABQ in early 90s,too...watched the Jupiter event from NE Heights.
now we live in NE corner near Clayton... where OK,TX and NM meet.
it is only technical that we live in NM...more like NWest Texas... lots of big skies, lots of no people......z.

I have been using them separately to get different effects from the one instrument but I do have 2 amps or can use one amp and a mixer so I plan to try it out with 2 leads at some stage and see how it sounds - I am guessing that it may be possible to pump up the bass (probably with the coil pickup) as that it has a deper tone and it might give a really full sound

At 11:02pm on November 27, 2009, bemuzic said…: Hi Rinnie, just realised I answered your question about what kind of pup it was on my 3 string on the video and I'm not sure if you get told about that??...so thought I'd answer it on your page....I don't know anything about pick ups!!...was told by the guy who I bought it off it's a piezo...don't know if that's just the make though and doesn't tell you much??

At 3:17am on November 22, 2009, bemuzic said…: Hi, thanks for your reply about my fiddle/diddly bow....could call it a fiddly bow!!!....will try to get some sort of bridge on it a string and see what it sounds like : -)

At 5:38pm on November 13, 2009, Skeesix said…: I like your profile picture with the crescent moon. It reminds me of this really old picture with my grandparents, maybe from the 1920's?, and my grandma is sitting on the moon. I guess it was some kind of studio prop or something - lol.

At 9:28pm on November 10, 2009, bemuzic said…: Hi, yeh a woman's groups a great idea : -)....seems to be mostly men..and mostly from America on here!.....as a middle aged English woman I feel a bit unusual!! (not always a bad thing)

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 3:01am on May 31, 2009, Diane in Chicago said…: Hi, Rinnie. It IS rare to find building gals. At the Yahoo forum, I was the only female for a long time. Maybe we need a group, "Where the Women At?"

Love your dragonfly cutouts!

Another lady builder...yeah!
Did i see that correctly,... that you had also used wood for frets?
I like that, what did you use exactly?
Love all the photographs.
