With this book, you can create enough footstomping instruments to start a band, using recycled materials such as cigar boxes, soup cans and cookie tins. Detailed instructions are provided for making four different guitars (three-string and four-string slide guitars, a fretted four-string tenor guitar and an ironing board lap steel guitar) and accompaniment instruments including a one-string washtub bass, a soup can diddley bow, and a stomp box and washboard wired for sound pick-up.
