What is Dobrojlo?

This is a DIY instrument that I made. It’s inspired by well known stringed instruments like banjo, cigar box guitar, mandolin, resonator, ukulele etc., but still unique with some unusual features. That’s why it needed a unique name and I call it “Dobrojlo” (probably hard to pronounce for all non-Slavic languages, but who cares).
The idea was to build a fretless 3-4 string guitar from scraps of wood and other materials, as well as guitar parts lying in drawers somewhere, and to buy other materials (and make/change decisions) during the building process. There is no schematic, sketch, plan or anything on paper (not even the digital version), it was built as I envisioned it – so the only blueprint is in my head 🙂 …and many trial-and-error situations later, here it is.
The neck – a piece of chair leg I found in the basement (can I identify wood? yup, it’s wood :), the body – a hexagonal plywood box from the craft store (6$) and that was enough to start with.
Did I succeed in the end? Well… somehow it works and I record music with it. It’s the new weapon in my musical instrument armory.
