- Tell us more about yourself (place a Bio here if you wish)
- well, I'd like to say "head on down to my web site and read more", but fact is, I'm more than a little ashamed in its current condition, having not been really updated since 2001 or so. But! we are on the case, and it shouldn't be too long now!

promise!

Dan,
Going through in detail now, and came to this point again. You diagram on p.67 makes the similarity of the C and D forms clear. Another way I have seen these box patterns named that I also find useful is name them 'string-finger' according to…

Most translations I've heard refers to them as "The Smiling Boot" .
I think the warmth of the cedar top works well with the cocobolo, which can be very bright, to the point of being harsh at times. I work the cocobolo toward a warmer response when combined with spruces, but let it do its bright/harsh thing when combined with the cedar, whose warmth takes the "edge" off the cocobolo.
"La Bottine Souriante" ?, how you translate ? "The Grinning Little Boot" .
I hope you are doing well and to see you again at IBMA.

I had thought we might have some time to talk about this guitar I'd like to build, but we'll email when you get back to Canada.
Marty, I've not met Charmaine yet; should I be worried? We DO need to get together and swap a few tunes, for sure; you bringing a banjo to jam with?
