Wood Branch Instrument.

Ok. This one is not mine. It was presented to me by my good friend. Here’s the story. One sunny day or maybe not so sunny, a municipal service car had appeared on the street. They decided to cut a huge old tree near the house. And my friend took a piece of the huge branch of the tree. For good memories.

Than later he got an idea to make something if not useful but at least meaningful from it. So he cut it again, this time along the branch. He also made 2 grooves on the opposite side to rest the thing on the laps.

Then he put 8 piano tuners into side which supposed to be a headstock. Few more tricks like a tail and a bridge and the instrument was ready.

That’s the instrument which I have got. So, all the modifications I have done was an installation of a piezo pickup. Obviously, such instrument has to go electric!
