Very nice design and work. What kind of amp does your daughter play it through? I was happy with the Barbera pickup on my violin played through a small tube amp, but would consider the Baggs, it is quite a bit cheaper. How is the jack positioned?

My experience is very similar to what the others said. I have the plastic DD version, over a bin, then into a big Ridgid shop vac with a HEPA filter. It has performed beyond my expectations, using it with several machines. While I do have a true dust collector for my big tools, I still use the DD/Ri...

Hi Bob, thanks. The Limba is pretty light, which helps, but it is heavier than a regular violin by a fair amount. That's something I'll work on for future builds.

I have thought of using something other than the standard tapered ebony pegs, specifically the Grover Uke/Dulcimer friction pegs StewMac sells. Has anyone used those, or another alternative? And, if so, what did you think...

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.This is a test. Had it been an actual emergency, etc, yada yada.
