Hello Beth, thank you for your comment about the Epinette, tho' it has obvious limitations , anyone who is happy using a noter would find it easy to play. Having made a couple recently for others, I have now cut timber to make 'one for me', 'COS I'M HOOKED ! 3.gif

Bill, its good to have you listen to me ! Could do with that band saw of yours, have aquired some decent cherry ,but will have to resort to my trusty five teeth to the inch rip saw ( when I can find some energy, lol)

John, yes, I think I have 'played it in' for you!!! it's time for it to find it's way to Kingswood now. Will try to get to your gig on Wednesday.

Thanks for comment both

Wayne , thanks for the comment, sorry about the shirt, it was to give JohnK something to moan about really, the full message reads "Mr Grumpy" (and I have socks to match !). Grandchildren can be so lovin', sometimes, lol)

Brian, I have to make additional instruments, it saves hugely on ' retuning ', lol ! (ejoyed your "All Thro' The Night", another standard we sung at school eon's ago, tho' not quite as fast!)

Great job, John. I agree with the other John - the shirt rocks as well! Seriously, I love that you actually made the instrument you are playing. I have serious respect for people with the skill (and the desire) to do that. Thanks for sharing. :)

If this won't put you in a festive winter mood, I don't know what will.

Just LOVELY sounding! Such a pretty thing you made.
