Mal, Tinyguitars and Jojo have both built that A-frame instrument. You can look at their photos and get some ideas there. They will likely reply pretty soon, too.

Ask Jay at tinyguitars, he would be willing to show you what he did and how he built them. I have one of his that he made.

Hi Diane

I see you acationally make the blues-cimer which sounds really great but where would a rank beginner like me get the tabs from to learn to play one. Mal (UK)
