Salad Fingers isn't just made from a salad bowl and fork, it's an instrument salad... combing the attributes of four traditional instruments. It has the scale length of a standard mandolin with a goat skin head like a banjo, but its string arrangement keep it from being classified as a banjolin. Instead of 4 courses of doubled (same pitch) strings, it has 3 courses of octave pairs similar to a 12-string guitar. Those three courses are drone tuned like a dulcimer.

psuggmog, thanks! I had not heard of a tanbor cumbus until now. Judging by the pictures i found it looks like a very different beast, but with the exact same string arrangement. I may have to try my hand at one of these! Also, thanks for the heads-up on the human check... I have fixed this.

If you had used a 37 inch scale, you would have made a salad bowl version of a tanbar cumbus. Great website. It appears that we have a similar demented muse. This is my second attempt at posting a comment here. Apparently your minion field below is case sensitive. It didn't accept my SaLaD input.
