Fiddlestick-3

Posted by Diglydog on July 31, 2012 at 11:47am
Bored with straight lines and right angles ? Convert a violin ! This is the Fiddlestick, made from a 3/4 size cheapo fiddle and an oak stick. It has a rod piezo in the saddle, a disc piezo in the body, a volume pot and a blend pot for the 2 piezos. This is a sort of trial build, hence the back is tacked on with hot glue. It sounds OK and may improve when the back's on properly.

    I love this split snail from the old fiddle. Makes a very striking headstock. Perfect for your new instrument...

    Thanks, I wanted to re-use the scrolls somehow to keep the violin theme at both ends of the neck.
