Here I demonstrate my latest instrument. Completed on 2/9/23 I'm still very much just starting to learn to play it. Made from 1/8" flat bar and ground thinner for greater tonal quality. It has 4 strings but the 2 highest are doubled up and tuned alike for a reedy sound.It picked up some unfortunate audio flaws somewhere, but you'll get the gist of it.

    Thanks guys, and I like the arpeggio idea. have to give it a try once I get a better foothold on playing it. This was a lot of work to make so glad you folks like it. another one of this fiddles strong points is its ability to produce strong overtones with a lot of sustain. I'll try to show that off a little better next video I make of it. on sort of an odd note it only really sounds good at night. not sure why
