@musicalmiscellany Yeah, I build basses and guitars. Also percussion stuff. I never even thought about how easy it would be to make a lap steel. I am definitely gonna do that.
Love this video! You exhibited your personal brand of genius as well as your fun side here. I have to say the 2X4 Lap Steel was really impressive (and my favorite.)
I LOVE your bass. That really rocks. Lyres are cool. I've made three -- one from a discarded one-inch pine shelf (with plywood soundboard), one from an old cutting board (this one is just scooped out, no soundboard) and one from a 3/4 inch plywood corner from a kitchen remodel that looks a little more like a harp. Guitar tuning pegs for ease or retuning.
I feel good about buying kits now I struggle on my own building but like trying the pizza paddle and the 2x4 lap Steele are cool the little box for sound effects way beyond my building ability
Thanks for watching the video. DIY can be as simple or complex as you want. Kits are great for learning how things work and honestly... several of my favorites are kits. As you get more comfortable, try some of your own designs. Just make sure you always have fun doing it.
Thanks for checking it out. I know folks tend to call a 2-string guitar a chugger but I'm not sure that applies to a 2-string bass. I suppose I could call it whatever I want. LOL. Thanks again.
I want to see acoustic instruments that can be built with household items, Not amped instruments built with kits and spare parts. I liked your didgeridoo video
If that's the case, you might like this video... ruclips.net/video/YP_KnahAqf4/видео.html Or any number of the vids in this playlist... ruclips.net/p/PLwIixlr7C6KUbPfAgFP6Sn4D46L0i0CQD
Thanks for watching. I actually made that drone box from 2 kits. One kit that was designed to be a delay circuit and another with 3 oscillators. It's not as difficult as you think but yeah... not a beginner task either.
I've sold a handful of them and given away a few but I end up keeping most of them. I've always thought about selling them on Etsy or something. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for checking it out. I really do enjoy cigar box guitars. I think they're often overlooked as toys but they're serious instruments that sound really good.
Dude I loved this video you are amazingly creative and clever iam an ex drug addict bass player who's last rig made a one way trip to pawn town and im learning harmonica im a hobo and sober
Thanks for watching the video. Harmonica is a great instrument. Very expressive, fun to play, and easy to transport. Wishing you all the best and congrats on your long sobriety.
@@musicalmiscellany you're welcome for the tip. Here's a link to a video that shows how to apply cotton and rosin ruclips.net/video/CXLz05mUTmI/видео.html I really enjoyed your video. I love homemade instruments.
They’re all so awesome!! I want to make an electric lyre from scratch and was wondering where you would recommend to get the pickup and hardware? Thanks!!
That's a good suggestion. If I was to create a harp, I'd probably try to figure out a way to put geared tuners on it because zither pins are just annoying to tune.
i just made my first instrument i made a shaker out of a whiskey bottle. I got a pretty good sound out of it. Now I want to make something else. I really want a jarmageddon but its sold out online :(
@@DoodMangSpeaks The didley spoon has a piezo disc pickup mounted to the bottom of the soundboard. It seems to amplify the string pretty well and doesn't feedback too badly. Check out this vid if you haven't already: ruclips.net/video/FLWsK7_q3uI/видео.html

the pizza paddle bass is actually a sick af idea, i feel like i need to make one for myself
Thanks. I had the idea when I saw one hanging on the wall at a restaurant. I thought... hmmm... that resembles a guitar but its too long.
That bass is AMAZING! In a world of computers, VSTs, dial up loops, you are an inspiration! I love the hurdy gurdy, too. Brilliant Work!!!!!
Thanks for checking out the video. I really appreciate that. I like the latest and greatest but there's something to be said for tried and true.
The 2×4 is gorgeous!
Thanks. It sounds really good too.
Love the bass and steel 👍
Thanks for watching. It's fun to make these things and great to see others get inspired by them.
@musicalmiscellany Yeah, I build basses and guitars. Also percussion stuff. I never even thought about how easy it would be to make a lap steel. I am definitely gonna do that.
@@UncleDanBand64 I love my lap steels. I've built three of them and each one has a separate video on my channel.
@@musicalmiscellany I will check that out. Thanks.
Love this video! You exhibited your personal brand of genius as well as your fun side here. I have to say the 2X4 Lap Steel was really impressive (and my favorite.)
Thanks for watching. It is one of my faves too.
Amazing,,, TALENT... I wish i had some...LOVE THE BLUE STEEL..
Thanks for watching the video. That lap steel is a great sounding instrument. It came out surprisingly well.
Wow, some of these I hadn't seen before! I like the lyre a lot of course but the drone box looks super useful! 😊
Thanks for watching. It was hard to pick 10 but I managed to do it. LOL. And you are correct, the drone box is really useful.
Fun video and man that bass did sound really good. Thanks
Thanks for watching. Homemade instruments are fun to make but often times... I'm amazed by how good they sound.
Excellent
Thanks for checking it out
Hurdy Gurdy “doesn’t sound terrible but doesn’t sound that great..” proceeds to play song from Hereditary
Thanks for checking out the video.
Really great stuff, love people like you doing great things!!
I appreciate that! Thanks for checking out the vid.
loved this!
Thanks for checking it out. I've got a lot of homemade instruments on my channel.

It's always good to find more folks who love building instruments. I really appreciate your support. Thanks for watching.
How do you tune them? That you can actually play music. The ones you made are awesome 👍.
Thanks for checking out the vid. I'm not really sure what you're asking though. All the string instruments have tuners.
Have you ever made a gheiro? Guiro? Using a gourd.
I haven't made on of those yet but it's on my list of things to try someday. Thanks for checking out the video.
That pizza paddle bass looks so cool. Also sounds good 😊
Thanks. It really does sound good. Thanks fir checking out the vid.
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing.❤
Thanks for watching. I love homemade instruments and it's great to know there are others out there.
Love your ideas, subscribed!
Thanks for your support. I have musical ADD and I like to build things. I guess this channel is the result.

Before we ask the question "what is an instrument?" we should first clear up what music even is. ;)
Another question that could be a video all it's own. Thanks for watching.
Dude thanks, coolness. I think the pizza paddle is actually called a chugger,... made one, gifted it to Slash, keep on, keepin' on. 'D S Clark

Really cool builds! Wireing up that drone box though seems impossible, I guess you'r a wizard or something.
Thanks for watching. I actually made that drone box from 2 kits. One kit that was designed to be a delay circuit and another with 3 oscillators. It's not as difficult as you think but yeah... not a beginner task either.
Love some of the instruments. Ever think about making them for other people ???
I've sold a handful of them and given away a few but I end up keeping most of them. I've always thought about selling them on Etsy or something. Thanks for watching.
I love the sound of a cigar box guitar. I have one too, but it's not homemade tho, I don't have those skills😊
Thanks for checking it out. I really do enjoy cigar box guitars. I think they're often overlooked as toys but they're serious instruments that sound really good.
You are such an interesting person!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad somebody thinks I'm interesting. :-)
Dude I loved this video you are amazingly creative and clever iam an ex drug addict bass player who's last rig made a one way trip to pawn town and im learning harmonica im a hobo and sober
Iminterested in learning about instruments that hobos used that they made or from repressed items
Thanks for watching the video. Harmonica is a great instrument. Very expressive, fun to play, and easy to transport. Wishing you all the best and congrats on your long sobriety.
Check out this video to see a hobo-esque instrument... ruclips.net/video/Xz-wHRTlFek/видео.html
It must be hard for you to pick your favorite! I really liked several of those. Each has it own charm!
Indeed. Homemade instruments are always unique and fun.
I know I'm kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good site to stream newly released series online?
@Lachlan Shepherd i would suggest flixzone. Just google for it =)
To make your hurdy gurdy sound better you want to put some cotton on the strings at the wheel.
I'll try that. Thanks for the tip. And thanks for watching the vid.
@@musicalmiscellany you're welcome for the tip. Here's a link to a video that shows how to apply cotton and rosin

Thanks for watching the video. CBGitty.com is a great resource for parts. StewMac.com is another but they tend to be a bit pricier than CBGitty.
Impressive indeed
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
You make cool stuff, subbed!
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate that. I've got a few cool projects in the pipeline so hopefully you like those too.
That hurdy gurdy sound like a trap instrument
It's a little harsh but I think it works in the right situation. Thanks for checking out the vid.
Do you have how to videos? On how to make our own?
Yes. Check the video's description. Each instrument has its own video. Thanks for checking it out.
When are you going to make a harp?
That's a good suggestion. If I was to create a harp, I'd probably try to figure out a way to put geared tuners on it because zither pins are just annoying to tune.
i just made my first instrument i made a shaker out of a whiskey bottle. I got a pretty good sound out of it. Now I want to make something else. I really want a jarmageddon but its sold out online :(
Welcome to the world of homemade instruments. Have fun and thanks for checking out the video.
@@musicalmiscellany your video was really cool just suscribed. I really liked the spoon instrument! What did you use to pick up the sound?
@@DoodMangSpeaks The didley spoon has a piezo disc pickup mounted to the bottom of the soundboard. It seems to amplify the string pretty well and doesn't feedback too badly.
