<p>Daniel, those old one string players all used broom/bailing wire, which is pretty thick? I have built some good sounding paint can diddlies using piano wire, it was somewhere around .050, maybe bigger & yielded a better performance since it didn’t stretch like bailing wire often does? Sometimes you can find a good thick piano wire where they sell pottery supplies, since it’s commonly used to cut clay? </p>

<p>Hi - what string did you use? - I’m thinking a G from a baritone set ? - don’t know - mine will be a 24’’ scale length- Kudos !!</p>

<p>On my build (see my diddley bow group post) I went with a 1/4 threaded rod on top of a 1 3/4" high by 2 3/4" wide wood block for the bridge since I couldn't find a good, inexpensive, bottle to use. There were some possible bottles at the antique mall but I wasn't going to pay $10+ for one. Thickness of the glass is a big issue here, both for tone and durability.</p>

<p>As for board length, I went with 32". That worked well with a Home Depot quart paint can and a 23" scale length. I could have cut it down another 2 inches, but I like to have space to work with. If you went with the gallon can, you would need another 4 inches or so in length. (If you want louder "annoy your wife" level acoustic volume, go with the gallon can.)</p>
<p>For the striker stick, I used a 9" piece of 3/8" dowel from Hobby Lobby (poplar, I think). It seems to do well but maple would hold up better.</p>
<p>As for a slide, I like the sound I get from the bottleneck from a thick wine bottle the best. Metal slides combined with the metal can can get a bit harsh sounding.</p> I really like this!

<p>I really like this! Music does come from everywhere. </p>
<p>Does anyone know what size/kind of medicine bottle was used under the can? I assume he was using the can with its "V" shaped cutout as a sort of resonator.</p>
<p>Need to build one of these next month! I've got a pair of maple drum sticks I will cut down and shape for use as hammers. Red oak dowelling isn't hard enough-I tried that on my "Brown Betty" DB and the string dented the wood. Does 30 inches sound about right for the board…</p>
