Washtub Cello

Here's a close up of the washtub cello in action. It's really hand-made from a washtub. The top is plywood, the rest is pine. It's tuned down to reduce the tension on the strings and thus, the neck.

 

This is from the 8th NYC Musical Saw Festival. The washtub cello was played in a duet with a musical saw.
