Hey Bert, that's sounds very similiar to an idea that I've been waiting to get a chance to work on for some time now. I have everything I need to make a banjo cello. I found a cello at the swap meet it was in pieces. The body was only partially there but the neck, tuners, tail piece were fine and so was the post/endpin. So I figured all I needed was a body. I kept a sharp lookout for a drum body, the thin maching type, and finally found a great one, once again at the swap meet. Is there no wish that this amazing institution will deny? Nay I say, ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find. The one I found was from the Seattle Buddist Church. I figure it probably has good karma too. I can't wait to get it up and runnin'.
