Mando-guitar to Mandolele conversion!
How to make a Ukulele in an hour!
Bluey my 2nd mando guitar is no longer! No don't worry she's undergone a little tuning change and is now a double 6 steel string ukulele! (approximately concert size) I've changed a few string gauges around and she now tuned ADGCEA All the pairs are in unison but the extra A&D also tuned like the G in what Ukulele players call re-entery or in plain English an octave up from what you'd expect. So I play my standard guitar chords but have no bass but can… Continue

Finished foot operated percussion machine.
My finished Ale-o-phone or Foot operated Mendoza or Monkey Stick makes all the right noises (boom/chink- Tsssh), now it's just a case of getting them to happen at the right times!
Aren't the bottle caps pretty! Some have pictures of British wildlife including a badger a bee, and a mouse. I need a lot more yet before they'll jingle loud enough so I'd better get to work! Burp! Once I get a bit better at playing it I'll post a video so you can hear what it sounds like.… Continue

One Legged Drum Kit. (from Blogger) http://andystonemusic.blogspot.com/)
Part 1
I thought i would like to add a little simple percussion to my music and the traditional folk instrument and indeed by product of the genre the beer cap encrusted broom handle shaker thingy seems to fit the bill but how to play it when playing the guitar?
When my daughter was about 12 she decided that she wanted to take up the drums and really did show a lot of early promise but thankfully for our sanity it went no further other than a friend(?) donating what was… Continue

My guitar is...The "Les Pew"
My guitar is-- "The Les Pew"
Written for Guitarist Magazine (UK) in 2007
When my church decided reorder their building to make it more lighter, warmer and adaptable for the 21st century they decided to remove the Victorian pews from their building I bought one for my kitchen but they only came in seven foot lengths, so I decided to shorten it to fit into my cottage but what would I do with the remaining wood?

Hey Andy,
Just added a new song to my song list! It's a bit "heavier" than my usual fare! Hope you like it...Ed
Here's a link to it in the Songwriters Group...

This guy has a whole series of videos with a cigarbox guitar right here in the AG Community...check him out...ED
http://www.acousticguitarcommunity.com/video/how-to-play-cigar-box-guitar-3
Here's my wife's 1925 "Glee Club" baratone...
I saw the cigarbox nation ning...that's pretty cool!
What I meant by next size up is the size uke between soprano, like yours and the baratone uke...here is a picture of one next from a kit offered by Stew mac.It's about half again bigger than yours. Edward
I told my father-in-law about your wooden cigar box uke and he said he could get me a few! So, I may be joining your ranks of players...only I may make the next size up model...just to be different! The one he gave me at Thanksgiving was a little small, but he promised many more are coming so I hope to find a range of box sizes...I'll let you know. Do you have a source for them...if I could, I'd find a way to send you some! Ed
