‘Twenty-five-years-ago, Mr Yeo decided to create his © homemade instrument after playing music with some friends where they were taking turns using a one string washtub bass. That got Mr Yeo thinking if a one string washtub bass could be played as an instrument then perhaps he could create a multiple string bass made out of nontraditional materials that could also _

be used to play music.
