If you're willing to spend Weber money, I'd strongly recommend a custom-made instrument. They can be had for similar $$ and are a much more personal & enjoyable experience than buying something off...

What are you all using to record & post vids of your CBOMs? All I currently own that records digital video is my phone, but something tells me the mic in that thing is nowhere near up to snuff for...

Oops, meant to tag the post with Dammann Mandocello for future searchers.

I can't stop staring, strumming & smiling!

No. Who's that & why should I know him?

Finished & ready for me to pick up. Unfortunately, I can't get down to Charlottesville until the end of the month. :(

Love mine. Yes, I'm in the process of building a much nicer instrument, but the TC will stay in the fold for taking out & about and not worrying whether I'm going to ding up my nice one. If you're...

*happy dance* - What a great tool! Thanks for the link, Rob.

Someone needs to tell Hal Leonard that they really, REALLY need either a batch downloader, a "Download All" hotlink, or just a link to a zip file.

Rob, I assume it maintains pitch while slowing tempo?

I feel like a total klutz in the down-up-down picking exercises. Anyone have any hints other than practice makes better?

Also, is there a way to slow down the exercise tracks on the Hal Leonard...

LOL, Dave. That would also be very appropriate for me too, now, but I'm hoping that in the future I can "earn my stripes."

Rob,

Wow. I'm so sorry to hear of your disappointment. I too would like some education, as boatswain mentions below. You could PM me, but email is preferred: ecmo1@yahoo.com.

Thx & sorry again...

While shaping the headstock, my luthier found a hidden knot, resulting in this:

I was thinking he should search for a bouzouki chord chart, since he wants that tuning vice standard OM tuning.

Walt, out of curiosity, why isn't the back book-matched?

Wow. I was about to reply to the OP until I realized it was posted over 5 years ago!

Bernie,

Thank you - I'm very excited about it. The build process has been a truly great experience, and if I could, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I'd really like a baritone uke, which Ray is...

Now we wait for video of you playing your new cittern!!

Thanks, Rob! Ordered!!

Would this book be equally valuable for regular OM players, or is it specific to the 'zouk?

This should really be #2A, as I'm posting them back-to-back, but I wanted them to be better searchable, so numbered them sequentially.

Carbon fiber reinforcements installed - strengthens the neck...

Build update #1 saw the top nearly completed, with rosette done, and bracing begun. The sides & back had also had some work done. I missed an update due to being wicked busy the past month, so this...

That OM is a beautiful instrument, but I'd rather have the wooden boat. :)
