thanx guys! its a bit of a weird one in terms of what its based on...believe it or not the shape of the base of the instrument was actually based on a strange onion that i found! the rest of it is a bit of a mash up of a warwick streamer, pedulla and a ritter roya. the shape worked out better than i orginally thought too.

Wesfinn, that is a nice bit o' work there! *dan makes a blinding understatement*.

Congrats! - I'm good at DIY and can make 'stuff', but I don't think I fancy tackling an expensive piece of wood!!
