  • My first didley bow, after making two CBGs; Tea box, 4x5x2.5 inches; old tool handle cut to 36 inches; salvaged tuner; scrap bone for nut; bridge is biscuit-joiner wood wafer with brass rod; Gitty piezo; guitar B string; pop-rivet string guides. The box is soft mystery wood, poor tone, so i cut the bottom off and replaced with a cedar shingle for soundboard. Scale is 26 inches. No frets, but harmonics are marked with red paint at 5th, 7th and 12th fret positions. It sounds great, good resonance, even better plugged in.
