The Making of An Mbira: May 25, 1999
It was a long weekend here in Canada -- what better time to relax in my
workshop and work on my mbira. When I was a wee lass, my teachers
had two main complaints about my work: I worked too fast, and I was
sloppy. Well, this project is coming along slightly faster than I originally
anticipated -- within 48 hours I put the bridge on the top panel and had
completed the contruction of the box -- but I am proud to say all my edges
line up correctly and I don't have huge gobs of glue hanging out of every
corner.
