The happiest Easter Bunny I've ever seen!
No wonder considering he is playing such a nice instrument he made himself!

Re: duh Easter Lily Build
Looks lovely. Really nice effects going on there. In terms of bass response, I think its less likely the mass of the carvings and more likely just the general stiffness of that small top. Possibly cutting away a thin gap between two of the adjacent sound holes would give the centre of the top some more room to move ... but I wouldn't dare do it to this one!
PS did you put your makers label inside it? visible through the holes?

Size don't matter...Yoda taught us that. Me make a lot of narrow wishbone dulcimers and Padzukies and the small tops have not been a problem when carved properly, which was just not possible with this top...well it could have been but me ain't that anal to sit there with calipers checking and tooling every square centimeter of the top. Nope. me convinced it is the extra mass. However Matthew, that amt on mass on a 16 or 17 inch top would permit doing exactly what you suggest.
Would you believe it, me forgot to glue in the label. Oh well.

Re: duh Easter Lily Build
Me gotts about a half dozen builds that need video/audio demos...
maybe, perhaps, real sooner, than later, or there abouts...but don't be holding yer breath...I'm not.
but yes...sooner or later and probably all in one shot...is the way me sort a do things... just as soon as me find or get "a round 2 it."
Round 2its aren't all that easy to come by now days, and me seem to have misplaced mine.
