the heat bend in the pipe can also be done if you know about how far you will need to bend the pipe. using a camp fire, camp stove, or even the house stove, can be held above a toaster even. you could take this project further and flatten it using the heat method and then pressing between two boards. might make it easier to play with a flatter surface to press down onto.

I am honestly amazed by the simplicity and ease of the idea and the way you convey it, I've been playing the guitar for over 14 years now and I never considered how easy it would be to build such a version myself. I can't say it enough, your calm attitude and way of explaining things make even the simplest things interesting and appealing, as well as shining a new light and perspective onto them.

Wow, this is actually pretty cool. It reminds me of when I was younger and couldn't afford any instruments, so I always tried making my own. I made a guitar-ish instrument with a bamboo neck and a large water jug as the resonator. The 2 strings were nylon fishing line tied to a screw for tuning. Needless to say, it sucked, but I've always had a thing for building extremely rough and simple instruments, so I'll definitely try this out. Great work.

This is the first video I saw on your channel and it helped a lot... I always wanted to make a instrument from my own. I tried all kinds of methods in craft but I failed by shortage of complex materials or I saw fake videos. I made this in first try and it really works . Thanks a lot.

That caique doing what caiques do best! Hopefully substituting a sun conure won't affect the quality of my own guitar.

Happy to learn 3 different knots and a guitar 🎸🎸🎸

You've given me so many ideas for lockdown! I've got so many designs running through my head right now.

Neat project. And as always, birb!

Cool project to play with a kid and teach it knots and stuff. People like you invented bluegrass banjo. Cool. It reminds me more those African Gabon Iboga harps

The bird is the main reason behind such classic tune 🎉🎉

Your videos are so interesting. Lots of people can explain how things are done but you make me think I can do that. Even if it means using electricity or wiring something electrical. Thank you so much for the time you put into these videos.

Great lockdown project ben, stay safe in these strange times ✌

I wonder if you could use a string made from another bottle (using a bottle cutter tool)?))

I really like your videos, man. I'm happy whenever I see the notification that NightHawkInLight uploaded a new video.

Love the simplicity of the instrument, and the way your bird just crawls all over you.

whenever i see a person pick up a bird like an icecream it makes me laugh.

Honestly probably not. I mean you could but the violin has completely different strings and are much much more taught. If you were to make this a bit more complicated and make tension knobs it would probably work better. However I doubt this is rigid enough to really work like a violin. Plucking would work much better.

HINT: If the rope is too slippery, make an extra loop forbthe tautline hitch.

Hey, love your videos as always. I have a comment about your tauntline hitch, which I think is a fairly common mistake I used to make all the time in boy scouts. My scoutmaster taught me that the three loops should all go in the same direction, but it looks like in the video you are reversing the direction of the last loop. I actually have no idea if this has any impact on the strength/performance of the knot, so sorry if this comment is just being nitpicky
