How to Build a Vietnamese Dan K’ni, A Wooden Bowed Single String Instrument That Connects to the Mouth
Musician Nicolas Bras of Musiques de Nulle Part (previously) showed how to make a Vietnamese dan k'ni, single string wooden instrument that connects to the mouth with a piece of twine and a plastic disc. This talking instrument is played with a violin bow.
Bras had previously made two others, but he wanted to make a third so that he could master the instrument without the use of frets.
I want another DIY dan k'ni, the mouth violin from Vietnam, so I make it and share it with you!
