Hello Guy, Nice to hear from you, hope all is well and thanks for the nice comments! I've been busy too and have a custom kitchen to build but plan on going full time building instruments as soon as that's done. Richard

You're awesome! I have started a similar concept banjo, mostly Stew-Mac parts. I wish I had seen this first. Wonderful workmanship, and you have given me a host of new ideas.

Yes I spent allot of time on these instruments and am still working on the design to both simplify the construction and improve its sound. I plan on producing some version of this for sale in the near future. RB
