A forum for builders and aficionados of unusual stringed instruments.

Note to prospective signer-uppers: We've had several subscriptions as of late by spam bots who aren't really interested in luthiery at all, but rather would really like to direct us to various sites involving us spending money on real estate schemes, social life enhancement or various medecines. So, in order to keep out the riff-raff, when you send your subscription request, please use the field that asks for a brief introduction. It doesn't have to be long or detailed, but we'd like to know that your reasons for wanting to hang out with us are legit. Thanks.

PS: If you have a .info address and no Yahoo ID, that's a red flag.
