Hi nk, Just out of interest what is the idea behind the big bridge? i had heard that lighter the bridge the better? is it for transferring the rocking bridge's energy to the soundboard or just design?

[Nkforster]

The footprint is rather large but the bridge is sculpted thin - large and stiff and light.

wow great playing! was that the same bizouki with the top with the bump down the center?

[Nkforster]

Yep

you are so good

[rollingstoner100]

thanks for taking the time to answer, i just finished my first guitar and i think i did a pretty good job, now i'm trying to learn everything i can!

does the large footprint transfer more of the strings energy to the soundboard in your opinion?

TWO questions:

For James: What tuning is that? It sounds great!

For Nigel: what woods are the top and back made out of? It sounds great!
