The instrument is designed to be played with a bottleneck slide. The Nineboys Wedge is a modern, ready-made example of this, with a more reliable and approachable construction, but still maintains the charms of the original DIY creations. After all, we designed it ourselves.
Traditionally, Diddley-Bows were made from discarded materials, and spare items found in bins, farms, and junkyards. The Wedge pays homage to this with a soup can for the bridge and nut and bolt to hold it in place at the neck.
The beauty of the Wedge is that it’s built with consistency, to a high standard, yet maintaining the charms of the original DIY diddley-bows. Where possible, the Wedge is made from sustainable products and made here in the UK.
