Dear Sterling,
I found it best to make my own to fit my own reamers. There are various
ways to do this - mine is:
Drill and ream a tapered hole in a piece of suitable wood (I used some
mahogany); plane down to get a parallel sided slit along the length of
the taper, cut and
Hi Josh,
partially blocking the soundhole will take the resonant
frequency of the body cavity down, and weaken that resonance a bit.
The sound of the lowest notes will be affected.
You might be able to get an idea of the sort of thing by carefully
bringing the flat of your hand down to shade
Thanks Rainer for this information!
Next question - is this source available online, or might anyone be
able to let me have a copy of this piece? It's really rather
extraordinary, I'd love to play it!

Dear Sterling,
I use a similar method to Martyn's, only instead of making my own blades I have
found that the replacement blades by StewMac work well. I've made maybe a
half-dozen wooden taper jigs in this way for different tapers/sizes of reamers.
I can send you photos, if you'd like.

Sterling,
The Stew-Mac device can be made to work if you're persistent. Making your own
is probably best, assuming you have a reamer. Are you trying to fit a whole new
set of pegs, or just touching up some that have gone slightly oval? A little
chalk and a deft touch with a file might see you
I made a shaper a while ago per the David Van Edwards but I wanted a
comercial one. I just ordered a Chinese these thing from Ebay so I hope
that works.
