Cavaquinho
I have been messing about with cavaquinhos for a time.
My 17 yr old grand son has a senior project. A requisite. He has decided to build a cavaquinho and discuss the history and construction of same. Ambitious at minimum.. but he is determined. We have spent 3 hours on the project yesterday and six hours on the project today. We managed to "re-design" the cavaquinho with an eye toward eventual small shop production, each one being hand crafted from multiple parts production. The working drawings are near completion, from which will be built a prototype and then re adjust the drawings for a final product. He is really into this and as a viola and guitar player.. I think this will have a payoff down the road. I can help, but I cannot do the work. And he is required to have a "mentor" not family related... we have approached a couple of pros for their help.. More later. El Ruco
