     - Musician Larry Yeo's homemade stand up 
     
     always a conversation starter wherever he tak oe 
     
    

    
     ‘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.
