gefahren - exoplosivtoffe Uncle Fester's Diddley Bow

Posted by Jimmycakes401 on September 17, 2009 at 1:00pm

Given to Fester by a German operative during the war in appreciation for some undisclosed assistance. Knowing Fester’s love for dynamite and electricity, the soldier/luthier electrified the instrument and added a detonation device that would ignite when the proper tune was played. The instrument has many updates from its years of use. However, the detonation song has yet to be sounded—much to Fester's disappointment.

Hey, thanks guys. I really appreciate it. It's my first one. I may have to make more. It's a lot of fun. I have some more ideas. It will be in a gallery show in Connecticut in two weeks if anyone is near by. Thanks again!
