Jim,
Thanks for accepting. I just saw the resonator you made for Mike Telzrow. It's beautiful and probably sounds amazing. I hope to own one someday!
Cheers,
KMD
Do you know of any local clubs or groups that get together to share, jam and just hang out?
I build a variety of string instruments, do lathe turning and wood carving. I'm currently working on an "A" style (stick dulcimer) 3 string fretless slide guitar made out of old growth "sinker" cypress. I love that wood, it has a unique mellow (but not flat) resonance. It is a hollow body acoustic/peizoelectric beast with a 25 inch scale length. I'm going to try mounting bass strings on it.
Thank you Jim for your comment. Well, the way things are today, it is definitely good to hear you are busy in a "good way". I hope the new job is working out well. Take care and talk to you soon. Enjoy.
Thank you Jim for your kind and encouraging words. Yes, if you can enjoy the trip, the destination seems to be always just around the next bend. Enjoy.
Thanks for the reply. You r right it is Rooster man, Thanks. I know so little about resonators that I'm not sure what to ask first. What Kind are best? Materials used to pound or spin or buy. I have a lathe but spinning metal is new to me. Old Lowe used a form to spin against. I guess I'll try to make one like his. All comments are welcomed. john

Hello Jim, It will be interesting to see how your approach compares to mine in regards to arranging Silent Night. Actually the tunings are very simular comparing the interval relationships between the strings. Dgbd (5135) to ADf# (513). They both work with a major chord triad with the same configuration 513. As you will discover, the four string offers the advantage of having full chords starting and ending on a tonic and not needing to always alter notes to make various chords due to the limtation of just having 3 strings. Thank you . Enjoy.
Thank you Jim. For now, I am going to continue video recording my arrangements to archive them for future reference. I am working on lesson 1 of How to play 3 string CBG Part 2. The first lesson will include naming the notes on all three strings, the chords associated with the key of C, Chord practice: House of the Rising Sun and Silent Night. Now that is a contrast! LOL Talk about Good & Evil Enjoy.
