always remember is "no dumb comparisons." Don't get me wrong but, like the 
man said who "knows absolutely nothing about bamboo, one is wood and one is 
grass. De' Diff. mark j. romero(willowhead)

I'm wondering if I should build a violin instead of the rod. Kidding 
aside. My son plays electric guitar and we talked already about the 
options to build one by ourself.

BTW: glues... what glues are you usually using to glue the grip and reel 
holder on the blamk? On my first 2 rods I used a glue which I bought at 
the flyshop. For the last rod they didn't had some of the glue and 
recomended to use some regular 2 component glue from a craft shop. Worked 
for me.
Again: What is your favorite glue?

Henk sayeth:

Yep, but stresses on musical instruments are different in direction. 
Maybe I'm using the wrong terms here, but a violin's glue joints are 
under a stress perpendicular to the glue joint's plane, whereas a bamboo 
rod's glue joints are under a stress tangential to their plane.


Not only that, but the actual vector direction varies all over the place, 
whereas in the violin it is
in only one direction.........unless you drop it!
