  • Now I am *really* impressed! And you built it, wrote it, played it. Gotta love youtube--it is great fun!

  • Amazing bright tone on your wess. Great job building and playing it!

  • Hi,

    Cool sound! Nice guitar and cool tune!

    Congrats from Paris France!

    Chris

  • I love it! Thanks Dad! We'll put the speaker on Moo's belly so the baby can hear it. :-)

  • Really incredible weissenborn, and a great song, thanks for putting it up!

  • Awesome! I admire all the music you make. Thanks a lot for posting. I'm looking forward already to your next video!

    Cheers,

    Sol.

  • That's a beautiful tune, thanks for posting!

    Very interesting guitar... you don't see many Weissenborns with a floating bridge, who made that? It has a lovely rich tone.

    Very nice bird inlays on the fretboard too.

    I'd like to learn that tune, what tuning do you use for it?

    Thanks!

  • It's a lullaby I wrote for my grandchild. The tuning is D A E F # A D. I built the guitar myself and just wanted to try the floating bridge and tailpiece to see how it worked. Thanks for the comments.

  • What kind of bracing did you use for the top?

    I have an old (1920s) hollowneck guitar with a floating bridge which is ladder-braced instead of the X-bracing that you see on most fixed-bridge hollownecks...

    I hope you don't mind me asking!

    Yours sounds really nice!

    Thanks for the tuning advice... I will try that - I have been playing mostly the openD/E shape, sometimes lowering the 3rd string a semitone, but I will try that tuning of yours, it sounds sweet!

    Peace,

    Chris.

  • I used the standard X-bracing (which I laminated) which I was a bit wary of, but there is a very low string angle from the tailpiece so there's not too much downward pressure. Seems to work so far.

  • Thanks for the info...

    It sounds great!
