ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author talks about a quite complex, though rather unpretentious looking musical instrument which he made in 1986. The author calls it Dachsophon (Dachs is the German word for badger) and have played it in concerts of improvised music since then, alongside the author's “usual” guitar work. Playing the Dachsophon on stage doesn’t seem to look very intelligent – people can hardly see what the readers are doing over there, unless they are seated right in front of the thing. Some have even thought the author was trying to make a fire, because of the clouds of rosin emitted by the bow. Anyway, it’s a delightful and charming contraption to play with, and it goes very well together with string and wind instruments.
