Hi..Mr Chickenbone here...I craft these with my own fair hands! Great to see it being put to its proper use...

And a great instrument it is too. Wish I could think of another song that I could play on it (:-((. Are you likely to make a stomp box that is angled Like a pedal. I saw one on your site a while ago but you seem to just do the cases nowadays. I got a case one from you awhile ago Which I find slightly difficult to stomp standing up. Not a criticism of your product just me a poor stomper (:-((

Hi, I bought this from ChickenBone John Blues Parlour on ebay. I love the instrument Not sure who made it but I think he gets the from USA-there again I could be wrong. I only play one song on it and thats Parchmans. Cant think of any other song that would really go with it. Unless you can suggest one. Even the tune I use to Parchmans is really from Going to the Mountain. When I got it I started playing a Scottt Ainslie rif. and started singing Parchmns and it Just struck. But thats blues

I would like to see a close up of your instrument. I'm a woodworker and guitar player. Would like to make one for myself. Thanks for any help....and GREAT song!!

Hi if you could supply an email address I would gladly send a photo of it. I did not make it by the way, although I wish I had the time to do so these days. It was actually purchased from Chickenbone Johns Blues Parlour on ebay AND thanks for you comments

Is that a Jim Tupper Original? It sure looks like one, with his patented resonators and guitar neck.

Yes I know, I have one in my show, and a cigar-box-banjo, and a huge home-made-contra-base. It's great.
