Making a bownjo - experimental DIY bowed instrument using a drum as a body
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- In this video I make a bowed instrument that uses a small drum as a body and has a basswood neck. You can find similar instruments in several cultures of the world. My inspiration came from instruments like banjo, yaylı tambur, erhu and Iranian kamancheh.
Tools and materials I propose:
Mini drum: amzn.to/3cvkQnx
Drill press: amzn.to/2pJaAPo
Cordless drill: amzn.to/2A6fTOy
Bandsaw: amzn.to/2pHj49v
Forstner bit set: amzn.to/2A5NPLq
Chisel set: amzn.to/2pILO1B
Block plane: amzn.to/2RLiAMf
Flat file: amzn.to/2RHIMHH
Flexcut starter carving set: amzn.to/38SH6GB
Wood burner: amzn.to/2pHkAbG
Round file: amzn.to/2RHJ80Z
Spoke shave: amzn.to/2IjIALM
Cabinet scrapers set: amzn.to/2Alze0L
Rotary tool: amzn.to/2YtT97u
Mask Respirator: amzn.to/2RKTfCr

Always fun to see you make another makeshift yet carefully crafted and very playable instrument!
Thank you
i love it, stringe instrument + banjo body is a formula for success
What a great instrument! It's been a while since we've seen you make one... enjoyed every minute of the video! All the best from Portugal!
Thank you, greetings from Greece
Excellent, as you always are! Terrific little instrument and a very entertaining vid. I never saw someone putting rosin on the strings before! Something new everyday. Cheers Dimitris, great vid.
Thanks Mark. I wasn't sure about rosin on strings but it seems to work
🤷🙆👏👏👏🙂10 minutes of pure relaxation.
Nice spike fiddle! I've made stuff along these lines too. I really like that idea of using the woodburning tool to mark the fret positions- I might have to borrow that 😁
I always really enjoy your instrument builds, my friend. This has a nice sound to me...a bit like a tagelharpa
Thank you
Awesome! Missed the musical instrument videos!
Very interesting. Well done pal
Thank you
That's great you keep coming up with interesting instruments
Thanks
Hello my friend,
Again great design. An interesting musical instrument. Fine Arts; They are the things that the human hand, head, and heart work together. I watched a great design. Congratulations. See you. Big greetings.
Thank you very much
@@ScrapwoodCity 👏👏👏👏
Excellent smart-music-instrument project!!
Thank you
To su gusle starac. Svaka cast
I love the wood burn measurements
Pretty cool!
Thank you
Σιγά μην περίμενα ότι θα κάνεις κάτι φυσιολογικό . Παλαβός και πανέξυπνος όπως πάντα !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
χαχαχα, τι να κάνω παλεύω!
Ωραία δουλειά μπράβο Δημήτρη
Ευχαριστώ Στέλιο
An amazing musical instrument.
GooD)))))))
Thank you
How about a 4 String version tuned like a Violin that also has frets.
Perhaps in future. We'll see! ;)
@@ScrapwoodCity It should use Black Diamond Violin Fiddle Strings cause they're special.
That wouldn't require a whole new project. Just a change of the nut and bridge, I would imagine. Also an added tuner.
@@KingLouisII And also metal frets. Black Diamond Violin Strings are special.
@@KingLouisII That might be a good update.
Well done! 👍😉
thank you
Τέλειο!!!! Είσαι πολυμήχανος Δημήτρη!!!!👍🙂
Ευχαριστώ Μιχάλη
Two thumbs up! Your audio is very good. I enjoy the sound of sharp tools cutting wood. Very satisfying.
Thank you very much!
sweet sound bro
Thank you
Brilliant!
thank you
So good
Thank you
Καλημέρα Πολύ ωραίο βίντεο
Καλημέρα ευχαριστώ
Sounds like a tagelharpa
sweet job
Thank you
This sounds a lot like a tagelharpa but without the droning strings
Χαχαχαχαχαχαχα...........Θεός...........Μπράβο,ρε μάγκα..........!!!!!!!!
Ευχαριστώ να'σαι καλά
Ditto comments below. It's been awhile since you made an instrument. It amazes me you keep finding different ways and materials to make 'Notes'.
thank you
It is fine work
thank you
fantastic, but how can u bow nylon strings?
It was kind of difficult. I am not a bowed instrument player. Someone who has more knowledge on the subject could find nany things to correct on my project.
Ωραίο προτζεκτάκι. Έχεις εμπνευστεί από το yayli tambur ή από μόνος σου το σκέφτηκες; Είναι εξωτικό μεν αλλά υπαρκτό όργανο της ίδιας φιλοσοφίας.
Ναι, αλλά όχι μόνο, δες την περιγραφή του video
Wonderful ! Is it a traditional Greek instrument ?
Thank you. No it isn't
@@ScrapwoodCity It's your invention, isn't it ?
It would be worth adding a small horn at the bottom of the resonator, like on the Stroh violin
Ι'll do my research. Thanks for the recommendation.
*δεν εχω λογια-πολυ ωραιο φιλε*
Ευχαριστώ Νίκο
Γειά σου ρε Μήτσο μάστορα!
Γεια σου κι εσένα, να'σαι καλά!
Περίμενα να έχει φουλ περίεργο ήχο, αλλά ωραία ακούγεται!
what diameter rod did you use?
decent bro
thank you
Biggles that was an understatement
9:56 for playing!
Next time make violin.
It's a rebab
Tuned WAY too low
I think you are right! It would work much better on a higher pitch!
