The bass bar on the Havlena bass is flat on one side, and tapered on the other. Did you install the flat side of the bass bar against the soundboard, or the tapered edge against the soundboard? The former approach leaves a flat soundboard; the other way would result in a bowed soundboard (bowed outward from the washtub). The Havlena plans are a bit vague on this point...Any thoughts? Thanks.
Hi Howard, actually I'm not and your the second person to pick up on that. The video was done on my Imac and either that or some process here on this site seems to have flipped the video.

Hey John,
Wow! What a surprise! You're a lefty!!
Great sound out of that thing, but the case is going to cost a fortune:-)
