The soundboard is 1/8" luan mahagony stripped off a discarded interior door. Hey vinylhed a weedwhacker in the US is a whippersnipper in Australia not sure about U.K. terminology. We use it to trim grass and replacement strings are pretty cheap in various diameters.

I want to thank you Jim I was going to the hardware store today and in my head  I start singing                                          SAVIN NIKCLES SAVIN DIMES.  that thing sure does project well.  How thick is the soundboard?

Such a great Idea for a standup base including the string. And beyond the the home made instrument the man can sing!!! I like the rendition of Blue Bayou allot.

Marvelous! What exactly are the strings, I'm not familiar with the terminology?

Great job, great sounding tune, nice!!

Thanks Diane,James,,Junksville and all others for the comments. Yeah Junksville that's a good Midnight Special on some cool instruments. Yeah Silent Jim don't forget Roy Orbison! And I'm workin' on the slapping WMP probably not right on this song even if I could do it. Oh yeah, I like those fiddles and dulcis of yours Diane!
