Thanks Strumelia -- I'm about to mod this contraption with a new pickup for a show this weekend. Hopefully, I'll capture some new video.I need a fretless gourd banjo!Thanks to Ginny also: I hope you get to see the Twang sometime in person someday. My father keeps trying to get me to get a van and take it on the road! Maybe soon!

Thanks, Robin. I've I had a lot of people at shows see and hear this and respond with, "oh, you've got a sitar!" including an Indian gentleman who wished to contract me to give him lessons...

Thanks, y'all.

I dropped the gourdtar after a show today, but the only damage done was a the pickup got knocked lose. Nothing some glue won't fix, I think. For a moment, though, everything was slow motion: "noo-oooooo-oooooo"

Bucko, this is so sweet. I thought the gourdtar was cool the first time I heard it and I'm still thinking the same thing.Smile.gif
