Nase Tambure (Our Tambure)

[Hrvoje]

Stevica and Sar Romalen were playing at Stara Vura (http://www.stara-vura.hr/ ), don't know if they are still playing there...

And Biće skoro propast sveta at Calisto... If anybody has more info, please post and help Branx out...

he told me for standard javor 2000kn...and for better maple flamed maple its 3000kn which I think is something u have pozz. But for 2000kn $400 its worth it I think

[Branx Tambure!]

Hey Hrvoje,
Thanks for that...i went to Stara Vura and thought it was great (Calisto was too far away from where we where staying ...maybe next time).

I was also Able to go to A Franjic´s place to get some Hardware for making tambure. He´s awesome! I will eventually be making some tambure at home...i will probably finish by July...YAY...i will make sure to keep all of u posted!

Thanx...from Branx

I knew I had the better of the two models he made. He is a very good tambura builder.

Hope you have fun in Hrvatska, Branx.

thanks anyway.

Hey Branko,
good to see that you went to see Franic and that he was very helpful. If you don't find a prim I will lend you my Ilija Nikolic prim. Seeming you don't have one and its just sitting there picking up dust. You can use it until you buy a prim and then just return mine. Simple as pie! You should have bought some prim bridges and brac bridges. He can always send it to you in the post. Nema problema.

Good luck with your prim hunt dude.

I am awaiting your arrival downunder.

Later dude

and give him that book:P...and branx btw its Franic. But yeah Franic is a great guy and knows what he's doing...probably one or is the best prim builder in cro

[aussie^tamburas]

@ circa

He already has the book. I gave it to him a while ago after he built his 1st tambura. I didn't have the book or know him before then.

[thecroat]

well, I own a celo but it's a katulic and I've been looking to replace it for about a year now. I'm in ther market for a good G celo and decent G brac. It's been a long journey so far

[circa_flex]

yeah its a jurkovic...
sounds pretty good...
but still too new and very bright sounding

[PozzSka]

Hej circa,

ljepa prima, I've never seen a jurkovic like that either, but i like the new look.

Break it in well, it will warm up over time. I've had mine for almost a year and it sounds better and better everytime I play. Very cool!

Bok

Nice work! Enjoy in it!

Could you, please, put a photo of these mechanics, as well?
Do you know where to buy mechanics like these?

Nice work!

Only that white dot (inlay) moved to the 7th fret during the transport, or you found it there on the old works of old tamburamakers???

congrats!
