Re: A Lego harpsichord, you say?

They seem to elicit pretty varied reactions - some people hate them, others love them. Most say they that they have good tone. Apparently they're quite primitive, and the necks are pretty thick. The string gaps aren't precise like most basses. For a UK climate, you'd probably want a truss rod in it which would put the price up - but the guy sounds pretty honest and would probably advise you. You could probably get him to make you one that looked like a certain leaf. :)
