I was once considered to be a virtuoso of the 'Gut Bucket' over the years so it was with great anticipation that wanted to read and review this book. Mike Orr has brought back old time musical instruments in this classic. You can almost hear these great improvised instruments being played on the streets of New Orleans.Orr calls the instrument a One-String Washtub Bass but the principal is the same, it emanates a true resonating bass sound and he shows you how to build one..Orr and his collaborators continue with old time instruments with a 'Soup Can Diddley Bow, a Stomp Box and Washboard. In later chapters Orr details four guitars of varying types and then show you how to amplify them.This book is a blast! Not only are there super improvised instruments but Orr has included a great compendium of musicians that played these fabulous musical innovations. Oh, check out the Hub Cap Banjo on page 127.

    Overview without any Real details.

    The seller was very forthright in his shipping and his description of the book. As to the contents, there were a lot of really beautiful pictures but not too many real details on the construction of the cigarbox guitars. If you're a real beginner and you just want to do something basic. This will be for you. For anyone else, I would suggest looking for a more detailed book.
