Really a cool instrument. How hard was it to build. I have wanted to try to make one but I keep phyching myself out of it. Very nice!!!
Awww.... now that is just OUTSTANDING!
After viewing yours and that Havalena guy's version, I'm leaning toward a dulcimer approach--kinda like a "strumstick" but with the rosined wheel instead of strumming. You're right, bowing fiddle/cello style takes a lot of practice as I'm finding on that thing I completed last weekend.
Will, it is tuned DGD, the 2 long strings are to note, the short D-string is the drone-string.
Will, you actually note it like a fiddle, but i can't play fiddle :(
Thx for the comments and i'm glad it gave you some creative ideas. That's the whole process of building :)
WM: how do you note this 'gurdy? Looks like a fretless 5string banjo neck--do you use fingers stopping the chantrelle(s) or some sort of slide, or both. I'm toying with the idea of a dulcimer type neck and using either a tonebar or small dowelstick as in a dulcimer....but with the rosined wheel like you have here... Thanks for the links you gave me.
Thx for the comment, Marty !
That's really cool hey
