The CBG Builder Podcast

Ukulele Ray has been building and playing ukuleles for over 35 years. So the opportunity to interview him for the podcast was too much to pass up! He is such a giving individual and I really appreciate the opportunity to spend a couple of hours speaking with him over the last couple of days. Be sure to check out his Facebook page and videos on youtube.

In this episode Mark and I discuss different string tuning and possibly ruffle a few feathers when we discuss the question of cheap prices Vs quality. Mark and I both have our own ideas and you have yours so please don't hesitate to share your opinion on the podcast Facebook Group. What do you think? Can cheap CBGs or indeed any instrument be made and still be good? Thoughts?

Episode 12 and we hit the big time! In this episode I get to interview the very talented John Nickel. John has been one of the pioneers of the more recent CBG revolution and is well respected as a man who works tirelessly to promote the craft and help people on their own building journey. I could have spoken to John for twice or three times as long as we did and hopefully we can catch up again in the near future to discuss more. Sit back and enjoy, John Nickel.

In this episode Mark and I chat with Dave Street from Little Crow Guitars. What a fantastic bloke! You might know Dave through the videos that Justin Johnson made and is still making with his blues plank range of guitars. He gives some great tips on using oil to finish guitars and reveals his secrets to shaping necks. 

On a personal note I have had some problems with Facebook losing my personal profile (Adam at Birdwood Guitars). Due to this glitch I cant admin the group to accept new members or post updates. If you wish to join the group, or are already a member please find 'THE CIGAR BOX GUITAR BUILDER PODCAST GROUP' and switch to the new group. Have a great week!!! Adam Harrison.

Hi all! In this episode Mark and I discuss our experiences selling at markets and fairs. The ins and outs, the ups and downs and many things in between.

Big thanks, Adam.
