My friend who is a bass player came up with an idea of building an upright bass. After going through a lot of ideas and designs we stumbled upon the Canotto.

A beautiful canoe shaped upright bass designed by 19^th century French physicist Felix Savart.

Here you can see how we build it in 9 days with basic woodworking tools.
