New Sintir in Five and Seven on the Beach

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

Nice! Nice! Too cool! John Lowe makes what he calls a Lowebow (a reinterpretation of the Diddley Bow), a large dowel (or more commonly two dowels) through a cigar box (with self made pickups), three strings played with a slide ... I'd say the Sintir is the daddy of the diddley bow and grandaddy of the Lowebow ...

[@ClubdElf]

cool, i'll have to check out the lowebow

[@ThomasD66]

Granddaddy of the banjo for sure, drone string, stretched membrane top and clawhammer style play.
