Welcome to the virtual incarnation of my workshop where you can find out about the different aspects of my work - without disturbing me. My website http://www.basscare.se/ is being kept as simple as possible. Here is where you'll find the stuff I chat to my customers about, or stuff that I would chat to my customers about if there was more time and I was more chatty. Feel free to browse around and if you'd like to get updates in your facebook newsfeed click on 'like' at my facebook page: Elinore Morris - instrument maker www.facebook.com/Basscare. The colours of this blog attempt to match the colours of the inside of the workshop, which has been renovated with historically accurate linseed oil based paint, and you can see a snippet of the newly sanded wooden floor.

Kora Diary 2

Had a brainwave of threading guidelines through the skin for the crossbars. It worked nicely.
The crossbars I made from an old double bass fingerboard. I didn't turn them, I formed them with a spoke shave, and drilled holes so I could thread them through the holes.

Wow, it really looks like a kora!

It's a bit asymmetrical, so that there is space for the sound hole on the left side there.
