Meet my wiplstix travel fiddle. It weighs 1.1 lbs and comes with a 2" x 24" PVC pipe for carrying. It sounds like a very quiet and tinny violin. Imagine that you were underwater and someone was playing a fiddle near you. It might sound like that. Bill Whipple made this lovely curly cherry wood instrument. His 'stix' have been played near icebergs, in Nepal, Cambodia, Africa, just about everywhere. But on the Camino? Perhaps this will be a first!Saturday, August 24, 2013
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a...fiddle?

¡Me gusto su instrumento! Qué bueno que puedes tomar tu música.
ReplyDeleteHi, Hope all went well getting off...Bill is a good friend of mine, so glad you've got a wiplstix with you. I know it was hard to whittle down what to take. Music and journaling/drawing are great conversation starters....Found out my childhood friend is walking now too. Your paths may cross - Jennifer Hooker a blond from NH but living in San Fran. Happy walking....XO
ReplyDeleteI bet your violin is a hit on the trail!
ReplyDeleteAnd did you play it? Did it end up being an essential in your pack?
