    Del knocks it out of the park again, now if I could only get my Diddley bow to hold its tuning long enough to try and keep up with this lesson.

    I made a diddley bow using 2 pieces of 3/4 inch quarter round oak molding glued together. Sanding the top (flat part) so it's flat. Added a fretboard. Installed 1 tuner. Installed a flat pickup with the jack. Bolt as the bridge. With 1 .046 I strung it up. Plugged the guitar up to my amp. It sounded awesome. That string I think I tuned to an E for that low sound. Scale @ 25 inch. I couldn't put it down.

    Hey Dale...great video as always...look up Rick Morning Star and his electric Hickory Stick ...I saw him 30 years ago at the Red Dog Saloon in Fayetteville West VA. He was awesome ...play rock and roll as well as Appalachian folk songs...a girl from the audience that new how to play harmonica got up and joined him and they played a lot of rock and roll together.

    Ah, all the subtle nuances of the "doobie bow" (@13:57). 😉 I swear that this is both the fanciest diddley bow and the best db lesson I have ever seen on UA-cam.
    Three questions: 1) When will it become electric? 2) Can you please play some Bo Diddley? 3) Does it djent?

    That was amazing. I spent ages "diddling" about with electronic tuners. I think I made it too complicated.

    I like to make my Oliva box instruments using the bottom as the top so that the lid is still able to open. Gives you access to the piezo if you have one, or just a conversation starter by opening it up and saying “it’s actually a cigar box “

    What size dowel.
    My first build used 1 inch diameter for a Tabak box because the box seemed hefty. I have a nice smaller Ashton and wondering is need to use smaller diameter dowel.

    • @GrandmasterGib
      @GrandmasterGib Рік тому +2

      The dowel size doesn't matter as long as it can hold the tension of the string over time. The stick is just support and doesn't effect sound. I've used a thin hardwood warped one with a small cigar box and old broom handles on standard cigar boxes. Whatever you have laying around or see sticking out of a trash can on trash day.
