Hello all, for the last few weeks i've been wondering whether i'd be able to make my own curtal. I've never made an instrument before (if you don't count the strawboe i made, which was probably the highest-effort instrument i ever made with my own hands), but i've been very inclined to try it. I'm not bad at working with wood, having made several small wooden trinkets in my dad's workshop filled with woodworking tools and machines, but the biggest problem i'm facing is that i can't find any instructions or plan of what dimensions and shape the curtal should be, how far apart, how big and generally how the toneholes should be constructed and so on.
Could someone please help me find these or give me some advice on making an instrument like this?
Thanks!
Greetings everyone and welcome to the year 2022! And to the first report of the year and the first report of the Omen of Storms meta.
As usual i focus more on the ladder than the competitive metas and in general there is a lack of hard data, so i use a variety of sources to piece together a general picture of the metagame.
With that said, let us dive into the very first meta report of the year!
Forestcraft
In the great woods of Forestcraft, where all manner of beasts frolick beneath the mighty canopies. The first assembly of Forestcraft leaders has begun with everyone present.. except Arisa. Who is too busy spending time with Losaria, and rumours say.. holding hands with. Though Ladica doesn't see the big deal in that as she's held hands with her many times.. and several others. Causing Liza to shush her very aggressively.
For Forestcraft Sekka Forest leads the way, followed by Evolve Forest and Ladica Forest.
Forestcraft finds itself in a fairly solid position as is possible under the Shadow of well.. Evolve Shadow. With several strong additions plus support for Evo Forest, the class in theory comes off well. That said, the usual things holding it back besides Shadowcraft are also in play, like how the class being more skill intensive tends to be a factor that curtails in popularity on ladder as well.
Striking with the fury of the forests
A midrange deck built around Sekka and Fairies. Off to a fairly strong start thanks to the addition of Armataz and Seed Barrage, some decks have also experimented a bit with Piercye, though those remain a minority. Overall these new additions have effectively accelerated the deck, making it stronger. But not strong enought to contend with the nr 1 deck in the meta. Evolve shadow, which is faster than Sekka Forest and which sekka forest can't disrupt either.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
