Dulcimer

I enjoy hearing the soundboard before final assembly. Then tuning fork set to 440hz  sings a A though the top.

Applying french polish to an instrument. French polish is very verastile. It is easy to work with but does take some time to apply. There coatings are thin so soundboards are not impeded by there finish thickness
.

New Activity

After a long time away I have decided that drop my ISP and use this much more cost affective service to discuss Falk Guitar activities. So look for ore images, posts and friends activities here starting now. Marketing is important and this is one of many paths through which it passes.
In an effort to maintain intrest here is some humor.

I tried to catch some fog but I mist.

More to come.
