Oh no, he didn’t…
Oh yes, I did.
Using a small power drill, a few wood screws, and a leftover violin piezo pickup I just happened to have lying around, and some dental wax (so I can figure out where best to put the piezo element), I now have a fully amplifiable tumbi. It sounds remarkably true to the unamplified version.
Makes me wonder if I couldn’t build a solid-body, full-electric tumbi at some point. Now THAT would be overkill. Sweet, sweet overkill…
