A slide on a bowed instrument. Man that sounded great.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for your kind words, folks. This fiddle has 2 string tuned at a fifth interval. much of the tone comes from the crescent shaped bridge (a slice of steel pipe) that buzzes when the string are tuned at a fifth and ocillates at an increasing rate the further they move apart. At an octave interval there is no buzzing or ocillations.

Wow! Very distinctive and unique tone Bill.

Very nice~!  I really like the slide and bow and low tones.  I can't tell from the video - how many strings are you using?
