Kuvat sippiviulusta? Photos of a finnish lumberjack's «sippiviulu»?

Finnish lumberjacks played on their camps an instrument similar to One String Sam's diddley bow, sometimes in duett with a crosscut saw.

For finnish followers I add here descriptions I found on internet:

sippiviulu - säilykepurkista, laudanpalasta ja kitaran tai viulunkielestä tehty savottajätkän soitin.

Olen jopa nuorena nähnyt sahan soittoa sekä sippiviulun soittoa duettona. Sippiviuluhan on laudan päälle viritetty peltipurkki jonka yli menee rautalanka kielet.

Vuonna -68 ja eteenpäin olin Koittanpelimanneissa, joita veti Konsta kakkonen eli Kauko Nummelin Koittankoskelta. Soittimet olivat huuliharput, kitara, 5 rivinen kravattimalli Kouvola, kaksirivinen, viulu ja puoliakustinen lumilapio eli «sippiviulu».

Sen ajan monenpojan unelma havaijikitaralle oli sippiviulu, joka rakennettiin itse. Piti löytää tai saada jostain jonkun soittimen katkennut kieli, jonka ympärille rakennettiin runko tai peräti vanerista kaikukoppa.. Sen päälle tallojen varaan viritettiin ruuveilla ko kieli. Ja eikun soittelemaan kammanpiikki plektrana ja joku lasiesine, tai hiottu rauta korvaamaan ko sävelsivellintä. Sellaisen rakensin itsekkin joskus alle kymmenvuotiaana.

P.S. Fifty years ago, among the instruments played by the finnish group «Koittankosken Pelimannit» was a «puoliakustinen lumilapio eli 'sippiviulu'», aka «a half-acoustic snow shovel or 'sippiviulu'»...
