Thanks for the compliment. I assume you are talking about the Lyra Mbira piece (trying to see how far we can take the thumb piano!)...please let me know if that is the song...I'm working on a song called "The Decimation Engine", the second part of which will feature this instrument...using "lyratronics"...LOL!
thanks for the vid comment : -).....I wasn't completely satisfied with the quality of the sound, but was pleased that I got across the feeling that I wanted, which I thought was more important!!

hey havent been pn here in a while but thought I would pass the messege along to a local, ben prestage is coming to town on the 16th of jan
your recordings sound incredible!
on the Xmas song I wrecked my car,,, what exactly are the effects or setup and equipment you are using, the reverb sounds amazing, plus the tone...everything sounds fantasterific! and what recording program are you using to assemble the music??? Thanks, I am a big fan!
Hi, a quick question...how do you get you videos to come up with a thumbnail even though they're linked from YouTube??....mine just come up with the YouTube thing!!!...do you paste the embed code (that's what I did) or the URL?
yes it has.....can only tune it up to about eb or d though before the tension makes the peg slip!!....hence the earthy, bassy sound!.....also want to try it with a higher gauge string and a bow : -)
Hi, thanks for your reply about the fiddle thing....Googled for images of gusles...could be that, but they all seem to have a rounded body, so not too sure : -/
Hey Bob thanks mate i must say the Distorted Planks my fav too - it was played on the Plank i made for hollowbelly , it just came out in one of them lets press the Record button and see what comes out lol!
Cheers mate loved your tune also sounded way cool
juju :-)
oh right, thanks for the info....heard of an sm58 (only because singer/sonwriter Martyn Joseph wrote a song about it!)...guessing the 57 is similar?....just googled the 555h Elvis mic and can't see them for sale...is it an old thing??, yeah have a good weekend : -)
