We had so much fun talking to Alex. He is the genuine article, a builder who builds using whatever he can get his hands onto. His traditional building style provides him the opportunity to build truly unique instruments ranging from watering can diddly bows to twin neck and triple neck instruments. We hope this episode provides you with the inspiration to build something individual and personal.
Thanks again to my mate Darren for joining me on this new voyage of CBG discovery and inspiration.
