Here's a little weissenborn tune played on a weissen I just finished making and filmed by Simon Oliver.

The instrument is now owned by the US band Barefoot Truth. It's made of sapele with rope binding. More of my stuff can be seen at www.burginguitars.co.nz
The tune's in G.
Kia Ora

That was beautiful. You are as talented a player as you are a builder. Thanks for sharing!

People, I am extremely grateful for your comments.
There's another tune up recently called Spring Flower.
It's the nickname for our daughter who was born 11 am on the 11th of the 11th month.

will get you there. It's part of a concert DVD that comes with the disc My Sweet Town.
In the key of G with a D bass.
Cheers
