    as a dad, I quite enjoyed the "background noise", keeping things genuine.👍

      Born to be Mild thanks. I’m sure they will make further appearances!

    Very cool. I love the little statue on the top.

      Thanks! Yes I picked up th statue/spoon years ago with the plan to put it on something! This felt like the right kind of instrument for it.

    1:30 subtitles say [MUSIK]
    2:50 subtitles say [LAUGHTER]

      I had never watched with subtitles. Guess the tool are speaking their language! Pretty funny.

    Very cool..what size grommet did you use for stringing ?? Thanks for video..

    • @MikeHawkey

      The ferrule at the bottom? - was a standard sized one you might find from a through body tele - just a odd one in my box of bits. Thanks!

    If I were a tiny kid and my dad was making a diddly bow I'd also be very curious lmao

    What gauge string? My next project!! Thanks for your knowledge 🤠 HOWDY FROM TEXAS!!

      Howdy, thanks for stopping in. Good question. Depending on your dowel/broom handle its up to you. From memory i used roughly an .030 - but i dont have the unit to check now. Thanks!

    what tuning is that in

    • @MikeHawkey
      @MikeHawkey  3 роки тому

      I don’t rightly recall sorry. G and D are good to go along with my 3 stringers. The beauty of a single string fretless is you can adjust for need.

    Nice, but what's that sound in the background? Sounds like your kids saying "yeah, yeah"...lol

    • @MikeHawkey
      @MikeHawkey  4 роки тому

      Kids - could be absolutely anything!

      It’s hard to describe. Twangy?

    What is that annoying sound in the background? It really makes this video less enjoyable.

    • @MikeHawkey
      @MikeHawkey  4 роки тому +2

      That would be the Diddley bow in action. Thanks for watching, albeit less enjoyably :)

    • @jtb8631
      @jtb8631 4 роки тому

      It sounds like someone shouting really quietly and high pitched. Is that the diddley bow? I had no idea they could make that sort of sound.

    • @MikeHawkey
      @MikeHawkey  4 роки тому +2

      Oh, children. They make even more sounds than the diddley bow haha
