In this episode, I play a two-string banjo I built from scratch. My source of inspiration was a children's book about how to build musical instruments. This particular instrument features a neck consisting of a square dowel and a resonator made from the bottom of a plastic milk bottle. The tune I play, "Old Joe Clark", is my rendition of a bluegrass tune I used to play on guitar and violin.<hr> Hosted on Acast.

In this podcast, I introduce musical instruments I have made myself, using objects I found in and around the house. This is in keeping with the folk tradition where people make instruments from whatever is available. You can make your own instruments,as well! This podcast is designed to inspire you. What you make and how you make it is up to you. Factory-made instruments tend to be made a certain way, using specific materials and methods. The folk tradition allows for a lot more creativity and flexibility. When it comes to drums made by a craftsperson, for example, no two drums are exactly alike. <hr> Hosted on Acast.
