Description
This is a very interesting instrument to play as you need to gently pull the stick with the nylon string upwards while twisting it. The resin on the stick helps to make the nylon string vibrate and these vibrations travel down the string to the skin over the resonator. It will subsequently produce a creaking sound.
In fact it can make a wide range of different sounds, depending on the amount of tension you apply and the angle of the string. The Frog Twirler can also be twirled around to produce a wonderful buzzing noise. Simple, ingenious and a great sound.
