I have never had any musical talent -- none, that is until one day after I received a mild electrical shock while repairing an old radio. One minute I had no musical talent, then "ZAAAAP," suddenly I was overwhelmed with it!
Well, that's not exactly how it happened, but I did build a Stumph Fiddle (if you're not familiar with a stumph fiddle you can read about them here). The good news is that it doesn't take a lot of talent to have fun with one as you will see in the video in the last step.

The material list to build a stumph fiddle is pretty relaxed. Basically you need a pole, and a bunch of noisemaking items to mount on it. I patterned my stumph fiddle after several I saw on the internet.
The one I built used the following:
- a strong adhesive
- a 1.25 inch wooden closet rod (about 5 feet long)
- two metal pie tins filled with nuts and bolts and riveted together
- some lightweight screen door springs
- an old metal sauce pan (with a bent handle)
- two bells
- a bicycle horn
- a wooden noisemaker percussion thing (bought at a toy store)
- several jingle type bells
- an iron plumbing reducer
- a hard rubber ball
- a few angle brackets
- misc. nuts, bolts, and wood screws
- stain and varnish
The tools used were:
- drill & bits
- scredriver
- paint brush

This cracked me up. Loved the intro.
I think I have found my new favourite instrument.
