Here is another great sounding insturment made right here in Knox County
The diddley bow may have been the first instrument that produced the
sound of sliding rhythm and the whines and cries of a single string that
later became the distinctive sound known today as the "blues". It was
common to the rural south in the 1800's and was made by stretching a
piece of broom or cotton wire around two nails and a bottle or snuff can
wedged under the wire to create tension for pitch. The string was plucked
while sliding a piece of metal or glass on it to produce notes.
This insturment has a solid oak neck and Padron Cigar Box
The great thing about this is you don't even know how to play a stringed
insturment to have fun with this and make great music.
It has great sound and will last a lifetime. Alot of great guitar players
got their start from playing a diddley bow. In fact it is a great way to learn the guitar.
