Thank you, Wayne. I am really happy with it - I didn't know if it would work at all while I built it...

this is really cool. just watched your video. it sounds good too.

Thank you all for your comments and your interest!

I made a recording with it now - you can watch and listen to it here:

Sorry for the belated video production - but I actually DO have a bread-and-butter-job apart from my hobbies...

@John Tose: in the video I tried both (with identical conditions) - on a small table and on my lap, so you can compare. Problem on the table is: the "slim" body shape makes playing it on the table a little "wobbly".

I forgot... It's a beauty!

Come on, Peter!

You posted the photo already three hours ago! THE SOUND CLIP!!!! Where is it? ;-) ;-) ;-)

Can't wait to hear it...

Presumably, though, if you play it on top of a table it will work like a `stave dulcimer' - basically a fretboard you play on a tabletop. Using the furniture to amplify it.

Looks nice by the way.

Looks very nice Peter. I made a different one out of scraps I had from another project I did.

Thank you Peter, I am glad that the video was useful.
