<p>Ok Randy, that last one you posted looks really interesting. I assume the "wings" are for playing in a seated position? Also, do I see only one tuner? If so, how do you keep the 2 strings happy together? Soundpost inside? Very cool.</p>

<p>No background or skills in music, I'd suggest a vaudeville violin / phonofiddle.</p>
<p>one string, diatonically fretted to more than 2 octives, size it to something comfortable for him to play on his shoulder or between the knees. </p>

Thick stubby fingers = small diameter neck fretboard. Hmm. Unless you make him a bowed psaltery. Got it! Get an old moto gas tank. Fit piano or zither pins to it, string it on top. No need to worry about stubby fingering, or necks. Highly unique instrument, can actually be mounted on the bike as a gas tank.<br />

Here's what a bowed psaltery looks and sounds like:<br />

Motorcycle fork. Screws. Tuners. Strings. Attach same to the righ hand fork of his bike. You have made him a playable diddley bike.
