My "Viola de Arame" finally completed

Here are some photo's of the "Viola se Arame" finally done...This one took me awhile, but Patience is a necessary virtue to make an instrument like this.Woods used: Mohogany neck,Indian Rose wood finger board,Accasia back and sides,Spruce sound table. Now just got to learn how to play it...I love Fado's

nikki's melochord

this is Nikki's new Melochord.Nikki's play in "the Batak Tradisi" band, all around Asia.She said that the Melochord is the perfect instrument for her,because it reminds her of a primitive Batak instrument. However, this one stays in tune and has a fuller tone and volume. It can also be played acoustically or electrically, using the pickup.
