I happily took temporary possession of CBT last Sunday in Halifax after Akquarius's short weekend stint as its custodian. I've had a little time to play it so far, and I'm hoping for a lot more time in the coming week. I've recorded nothing as yet, but here at least is the hand-over photo Dave took at Halifax:  |

Excellent photos; what brand are the tuners and what do they work like? They certainly look the business.
Cheers Gary

Sorry for the poor playing in advance - this syncronisation with guitar, and then recording audio and video separately but simultaneously is just about beyond my ability. And I've got to try to play too!
Anyway, first recording done:
Calum's Road

Next up is my attempt at a reel - it's a bit all over the place, but again I plead simple incompetence  Jenny Dang the Weaver |

Great stuff Martin, Calum's Road is a favourite of mine - I'll have to try putting some tremolo in like you did now. Wasn't familiar with Jenny Dang The Weaver but it's now on the "to do" list". CBT sounding particularly clean and sweet on that one!

Damn, Martin, I wish I was as incompetent and 'all over the place' as you! Really good sounds from CBT, there, lad ... fantastic stuff. |

Jo whoever he is.
