Jim..I just watched an Adam Hurt vid on Youtube he was playing his bottleneck gourd banjo. He gave a detailed description of how the builder grew the gourd so that the top and bottom ended up flat. This summer I`m going to give it a try.

Thanks Maddog. It would be cool to see what you'd do with a gourd!
