GUEST,Billy One String Fiddle - can anyone identify? (27) One String Fiddle - can anyone identify? 03 Nov 04


Found this in a junk shop. Please help me identify the ethnicity of this one-string fiddle-type instrument. If you can identify
the wood from which it is made, that would be a start. It is 18" long and the bow is 14" long. It is intricately carved from one solid piece of wood. The bowl is covered with some kind of skin to make the soundboard. It is very old as the skin is quite brittle. Here are photos:
