The Most Beautiful Music You'll Hear from Soup Cans & Pallet Wood

Check out this homemade version of a Cymbalum, the traditional hammered dulcimer from Hungary.  This one was made with just soup cans and pallet wood.

Is it wrong to want to build an electric one with bass gauge strings and 1 gallon cans to play through huge amount of fuzz and a giant bass rig?

Cuz that's what I want now.

Do.It.

Neanderpaul made a diddley bow from a trash skip and a braided steel towing cable...

EXCELLENT IDEA

Something like Royal Blood on a Cymbalum

Make it and put up the video ~ this will be awesome.

Incredible.

I have to admit, until I saw the strings I was utterly perplexed. Now I have to have one.

I knew those cans I've been saving would come to some use!

...and I have a couple old palettes just waiting for their resurrection. :-)

Damn you Shane! Stop posting stuff to make want to make instruments I've never heard of before!

I'm like a drug pusher

"Ditto" all previous comments, especially the one by Jim Morris.

Amazing!

So beautiful!

Like a hammer dulcimer without all the extra strings. Totally cool! Thanks for posting Shane! 

Very cool!!!
