Many Countries have representative instruments like a "didley bow". To claim this instrument as originating from West Africa is incorrect. Rome, Greece, Persia, all have had similar instruments pre dating recorded history.71.188.239.115 (talk) 11:55, 27 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

The picture at the top isn't very clear to anyone already familiar with diddley bows. It seems to show a man holding a wrapped sausage and looking at a wall. There's no string visible, so it's hard to be sure which part of the picture is a diddley bow, and it doesn't quite match up with anything in the description. 82.42.161.198 (talk) 10:00, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
