All dressed up and only 2 strings

Posted by Uncle John on April 25, 2015 at 6:49pm
Old fiber box. Piezo. The stick (neck) is a 1x1 inch scrap of poplar with a 1/4 inch heel. Tuned G/D.This is my first I/V tuned deuce and I once again, I had to ask myself, "What were you thinking? Why did you not build one of these before?"I had built deuces, but they were octave tuned, GG. Good, but right now this one suits me to a tee.There is a video with it. Tell me how you think it sounds.

    Lane, you obviously need a diddley AND a  two string.

    Nice sound. I've got two acoustic strings (A, D) and I was thinking about making diddley bows. Now I'm wondering if maybe they should stay together and be a 2-stringer. Decisions, decisions. ha

    Thanks, Gary.   CBN is THE place for fashion trends!

    Quite the dapper gent, Uncle!  The only recommendation I could offer is: your suspenders should match your bow-tie!  ;-)  They tend to get lost against your shirt color....

    OK - now I expect a critical review of my next posted CBG!  Cheers!

    No can do, Eric.  Would a pump shotgun work?

    Can we get the same picture with a double barrel in one hand and the deuce in the other?  :)

    Thanks, Patrick.  I have inherited my grand dad's crooked smile.
