Welcome to the group, Woodstuff and fuller. Browse around and let us know if there is anything we can help with, or you'd liek to share with us, like photos of our beloved Weissenborns, video or audio of your playing.

I always like hearing how our members got hooked on the Weissenborn, so tell us about how it happened for you.

Welcome!

When I saw the Weissenborn it jarred some distant memory of wonderment at having seen one hanging on the wall of a music shop when I was a kid -- "oh yeah, that medieval looking thing". I've been playing Weissenbirn for about 6 years now. I'm a singer/songwriter living New York City. My recent album Wherever You Are (chrisfuller.bandcamp.com) has a lot of slide. I'll post some Weissen-porn pics soon. I'm also in the process of starting a Weissenborn focused vlog of sorts, so I'll keep you posted on that.

	fuller says: 2/21/2014 6:39:56 AM Thank you very much guys! So nice of you to listen. My Weisenborn was built by an independent luthier named Greg Stiel in Illinois. I grabbed it on eBay $1000 and am still very happy -- solid koa wood.
