What about a cigarbox Nyatiti?

Posted by Downtown Vinnie on May 15, 2016 at 2:24pm in Other stuff - off topic, fun stuff, whatever

I recently saw a video of a nyatiti.It is an african instrument that has a beautiful  harp-like sound.It's made from a gourd,but I thought why not a cigar box nyatiti? Granted the fullness of a gourd compared to a cigar box would be  somewhat different.But a nice LasCabrillas might be interesting nonetheless...heres the video of the instrument..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC71Ne5MwB0

    yup ..  i  have seen  similar top  mounted  cb  harp  style   builds  on  here  ,  (not    named   nyatitis   tho.  tis refreshing  to see  somethin   out  of the  norm  , i  say  build  one  !  (after  your fest  dust  dies  down  maybe ) , i  know  you  are   busy  with  that  these days  .   and  i  wish  ya  luck again  on  it  . ;-)
