The luthier has been to some trouble. Look at the fingerboard bindings.

Oh and by the way, I don't wish to belittle the build in any way whatsoever. I am just amazed that someone could put so much love into a wheelbarrow!

Most 'transportable' way I've seen of getting the bass to a gig Matthew, plus if the top comes off easily enough he can carry the rest of the quartets gear in his 'barra, except the drummer's kit.
Oh, plus he can re-concrete the patio at the weekends!

Gotta be one of the most innovative instruments I've ever seen. I'm absolutely amazed. I just don't have that sort of "Outside the barrow" type of thinking.

Just one step beyond Antonio de Torres' cardboard guitar.
Alternative materials for instrument building, preferably GREEN are getting more important every day.
Nice find Matthew, thanks for the picture and the link!

I imagine that exactly this amazement must be a great reward for the builder. "Amaze and make smile" instead of live and let die.matthew wrote:Oh and by the way, I don't wish to belittle the build in any way whatsoever. I am just amazed that someone could put so much love into a wheelbarrow!
