Thanks, Peter! I'll have to check next time I'm in that other space. I could definitely check it in an adjacent room, though since it's not the amp itself, and everything in the room was powered down, I'd imagine it's something less localized like the wifi router or refrigerator on the floor below....

I set up in a new space, and I'm getting an irritating buzzing from my Eastman T185. I've unplugged everything else electronic in the area, turned off lights, etc, and none of that made a difference. Initially I assumed it was my amp, but it goes away when I unplug the cable, so it's definitely in t...

Amazing!

Thanks, Jim. I have read up a bit on the procedures for tuning the finger holes, so I do anticipate somewhat low precision for the calculators. But it would be good to have a general road-map, or know how to make one, in order to experiment with scales & tunings while keeping the finger-holes ar...

In the off chance you're still monitoring this old thread, can you explain the purpose of the cedar "slip"? Is it just a wedge for clamping? If it's integral, why are you making the plug out of two pieces rather than one? Surely it would be easier to shape with a single-piece block?

I'm new to making wind instruments, and have started with simple bamboo whistles. I'm running into some trouble understanding the process of tuning. So, while the math is beyond me, I basically understand the existence of end corrections & acoustic length vs physical bore length. What I don't qu...

The previous owner of this guitar installed an undersaddle pickup. Supposedly he had a professional do it, but after looking inside I'd say that's BS - he did it himself & not very well, either. The adhesive foil was applied too far towards the bridge, so in its current state: 3 or 4 of the tuni...
