Here's an audio demo of my latest build. It's a one-string diddley bow I call The Texas Twanger. I don't think I've ever tried to cover a song on a one-string instrument before, but hey... there's a first for everything. As an aside, this was also the first song I posted on Cigar Box Nation.Watch the build video here: https://cigarboxnation.com/video/the-texas-twanger-build-videoSee the original cover of My Best Friend's Girl here: https://cigarboxnation.com/video/my-best-friend-s-girl-on-cbg

    You got it Richard. That was The Cars from their self-titled album. Again, thanks for checking out my vids.

    Cars on one string. Wowsers!  I think it’s Cars anyway. Diddley sounds good, thanks for your awesome contributions and performances at the festival, stay safe and most importantly, play and build!

    Ya Poorness. I have built two good sounding ones but I lack a drummer’s rhythm. My Diddly play is hollow. You do it much better.

    They are definitely a challenge to play well. That's for sure Dave.

    I loved the twanger and you play it well. I think a Diddly is the hardest to get a full sound out of. You did. Thanks Poorness.

    Thanks Danny. Diddley bows are a lot of fun.
