My latest...Steampunk hybrid Diddley Bow/Dan Bau made from a vintage violin case.Parts list includes components from a clarinet, watch gears, napkin ring, 50's car antenna, windshield wipers, camera lens, chair bands, gauges, amp tube, brass wire, copper tubing, plumbing fittings, veggie steamer, wheel nipples, bicycle wheel lights.Two pickups with separate output jacks - Flat humbucker by Dan Sleep on the top and a piezo disc mounted inside the case.A Dan Bau is a Vietnamese instrument that is similar to a Diddley Bow but is played using the harmonics of the string. I am experimenting with playing it through a series of effects pedals and getting some pretty cool sounds out of this instrument.
