Red Rocking Chair on Rebab

Made this real quickly loosely based on the plans Shane Speal posted. I'm pretty sure I'll re do this little instrument to try and make it a gourd fiddle with the regular 4 strings. Or maybe a gourd banjo I don't know. Fun experiment anyway!

I might buy a Bedouin style rebaba tomorrow...probably will end up making my own maybe even with a cigar box

We were lucky enough to see him perform near Boone a few years before he died.

Sounds a bit like an erhu when played with a bow! Nice work!

[@morbanjo2503]

Yes, very similar.

[@MrBass4art]

it is a diddly bow

[@morbanjo2503]

I usually think of a diddly bow as a one string instrument but I guess this could well be called one. I was attempting to replicate an instrument called a rebab.

@@morbanjo2503 i am a trained upright bassist so i know how to play with a bow. I personally been looking to make rebab also in a lot away the didley bow would be classified in the rebab family of string instruments from my research.
