  • Thanks for sharing the information....a great idea and video.

  • To: AlderCreekBand - Thank you Alder Creek Band for subscribing! I'll check out your channel!

  • Very well explained and presented. Well done.

  • TheOKJose - Hope the vid wasn't too long. I tried to get right to the point but it took a while...

  • @quailstudios Not too long at all. Recording jobs like this in near-real-time including all the cutting and drilling explains everything much more clearly and saves lots of questions and mistakes. You fast forwarded where appropriate, so I think it is worth 7mins 41 seconds.

  • Is that a Martin HD-28 in the video? If so, do you like it?

  • @peterpulpitpounder That is not a Martin in video at 7:40 but a Blueridge BR-73. It does have a "000" body style like a Martin. I like the thinner body for performing and the treble-bass balance that a smaller guitar gives. This particular guitar has a bone nut and saddle. It also has a hot-rodded under the saddle Fishman pickup. This modification was done by a friend of mine. He put extra capacitors in the electronics to boost harmonic output especially in the low end. Love this guitar!

    Well, I sure do like the background music - I think I hear a Christmas song. I just bought a Martin, and am curious as how tighten the bass up a bit.

  • @peterpulpitpounder At 4:08 I started playing Greensleeves. This traditional English Folk Song dates back to the 1500's. "What Child Is This", written in 1865, is based on the tune of Greensleeves.

  • @peterpulpitpounder  You can find the tabs and recordings to "Greensleeves" and "What Child Is This" at Quail Studios dot com. Click on the Guitar link and then on the Guitar Book link.

  • @peterpulpitpounder What does that mean, "tighten the bass up a bit"?

  • @quailstudios

    Well, the bass on my Martin HD28 sounds a bit unfocused. With my Taylor 310ce that I sold, when I replaced the saddle with bone, the change in the bass response was quite significant. It actual became much rounder, etc. In any case, I thought perhaps a string or even a saddle chance might help "tighten" the bass up a bit, if that is the term to use. Just looking for some input. Thanks.

  • Nice!

  • I made three of these in about an hour, shopping time included. They work great!!!  Thanks again!

  • Great job and idea!! Video is awesome too. I'll be making two of these this afternoon to keep my sweet girls properly humidified. Thanks for your time and sharing.

  • @1cleandude Thanks for watching. Glad it helped!

  • Thank you so much! Now I don't have to spend some bucks on expensive guitar humidifiers out there... :D (Just for now...Haha.)

  • These humidifiers are very serviceable too! You can clean them with soap and water or soak them in bleach to kill any mold if it starts to grow. I got ideas for these humidifiers from a luthier and a guitar repair specialist. These are not hard to make. They just take a little time.

  • Good on you Hal !

  • Great idea!!! Nice job
