Thx UJ, free to copy :). A Cigarbox bought in a secondhand store for 0.25 € and pole of a broom that i recently broke so it's all recycled material except for the string & tuner/piezo. Had really fun with it ! Hopefully soon a vid :)

Looks like LONG and simple to me.  That is about the coolest diddley in memory.   I've made a few lately too.  Fun to build, but I am not able to make em sound real good.  Man, people may copy this one and I might be one of them to do so.  Did you make the box?
