About the Book
This version prints only in black and white.
This book provides a reference for the construction of functional Folk Art and Roots instruments. Roots instruments can be constructed out of boxes, cans, hubcaps, toasters, suitcases, cookie tins, literally with anything you have available. As far as string instruments are concerned you are not limited to the number of strings, scale length, number of frets or to even have any frets at all. It’s all about having fun, making art and making music. Within the book you are given techniques, principles, tricks and tips for folk art/roots instrument building.
