I have been requested several times, for a better description and some samples of sound. as far as sound goes, I am currently forming a band on long island in New York so when we have something, I'll post it. The Low Bow (pictured above) stands 67 inches tall, two strings both tuned to g or d (depending on my mood) its played with a slide and a stick ( I have found different rods make very different sounds). it features a Seasoned bamboo neck, the head is blood wood and "Mr potato head" googly eyes, "Sancho Panza" cigar box , 1940's cobalt blue glass "Bromo-Seltzer" bottle apx 1 liter, and a chair leg with a rubber foot from an old crutch.

The googly eyes are cool. Nice bass.

BRILLIANT! I the juxtaposition of materials, from bamboo to what appears to be a plastic bottle. At first I was reminded of Ken Butler's instruments, but you have truly created a UNIQUE build. CHEERS! (btw, post some tunage, let us HEAR it! Also, please feel free to join the CONCRETE MUSIC group and post this pic and any music, if you feel inclined, that is.)
