Product Description

Build the mythical one-string guitar from blues and Americana folklore.
This is the instrument that Blind Willie Johnson first learned slide guitar. Countless other music legends have started with a diddley bow, too.
Originally designed for teachers to build with students, this kit allows ANYONE to build an instrument and start making music!
A diddley bow is a one-string instrument whose lineage goes back thousands of years. The first prototype diddley bow (in the style also known as a Musical Bow) was painted on cave walls in France upwards of 15,000 years ago! Traditionally, diddley bows were made using a plank with two nails/posts with a tightened string stretched between them. When that string is plucked or struck with a stick, and a smooth hard object is used as a slide and moved up and down on the string, different pitches result and melodies can be played. You can see a picture of the style of diddley bow built from this kit above.
Please note: Not all kits will contain the same Cigar Box as the one pictured. Kits come with real cigar boxes and may smell of cigars or have minor signs of wear due to this. All units are new and unopened.
