Me too. I think it's on Netflix right now.

This is nowhere near as sophisticated as a hurdy gurdy.

More like "cool but you made a more polished version of the stuff we used to build at band practice when I was 16."


This is fine but it's just a spring reverb, a couple diddley bows and the giant mbira my friend Tim made out of scrap aluminum in 10th grade, all stuck together. I've got literally dozens of cassette tapes o us doing stuff like this back then.


Nothing wrong with it but nothing even vaguely unusual.

And just to be absolutely clear, I'm not saying "I made stuff like this in high school" to make myself sound cool or special. Quite the opposite.

If I wanted to be a self aggrandizing dick I'd talk about building this in my living room for about $300 using mostly hand tools and 19th century woodworking techniques, including hand winding the pickups on a pickup winder I designed and built, hand rubbed the finish with no sanding using a hybrid shellac/varnish method I came up with on the spot, and didn't do any design work or planning other than the dimensions of the neck, so nailing some metal to a board doesn't really impress me.
