Hello there! This is my first video uploaded anywhere. Apologies for the quality, filmed on a click and shoot camera, although I tried to maximise the audio by precariously balancing the amp over the camera...hmmm. Kind of made it up, hope it sounds okay. Very pleased with the build. It's rather chunky. Any feedback welcome - I'm very keen to improve.

Thank you Steve and Dave, very kind.

Dave, it's an old Squire 15 practice amp, but I have a Zoom G2 effects box plugged into it which has reverb, delay, gain, loads of stuff. This one had some reverb set on it, and a bit of delay.

I didn't fix the bridge to the bowl...there, I've said it. I've changed the bridge twice since I posted this, it's a strip of bone held in place by the tension of the strings. I keep meaning to stick in down, but I too keep adjusting it thinking that it's not quite right...in fact, I've never stuck a bridge down. Thanks for the kind words. Can't see the cat helping out at all, he's extremely contrary.

Be interested how you fix the bridge to the bowl-guess you have to be really acurate where you make the hole for it as there is no moving the bridge around after you've put the strings on.I always seem to have to move my bridge around from where it should be as regards the exact measurements-Anyway you make ,it sound great,.As regards your pussy cat,you could always try feeding him from the bowl and see what sounds he comes up with,that way he might feel more included.My cat plays the harp when I lay it flat-I made a fortune from the CD he made.

Thanks Brian. The cat's not happy, not happy at all. He refuses to talk to us, he's going out till all hours of the day and night, we never know where he is.
