The Knitter Violin is made of a bunch of knitting needles, which are attached to an echo box in a circle. Turning the instrument around by the handle exposes the needles to the bow (I use a common violin bow). Played mainly by this method, but also by hitting the needles with a stick, this instrument has a sound similar to the human voice.
