ORIGINAL AFRI-CAN ELECTRICAL GUITARS TOWNSHIP GUITARS www.townshipguitars.com About The Township Oilcan Guitar was engineered on the original Khoi “ramkietjie” guitar developed by early Khoisan African tribes. First examples of the “blik guitar” surfaced in the late 1800’s at the hands of the indiginous Xhoi or Bushmen people making use of the discarded materials of the European settlers. The early guitar was made from a gourd, a large fruit with a hard skin, and it has been theorized that it got its name from the Portuguese word ‘rabequinha’ – meaning ‘little violin’. Although the ramkie guitar can be made from various materials, its base structure is the same throughout South Africa. The ‘modern’ version of the guitar is made from a hollowed oil can, or anything similar in weight and shape, with three to four strings made from fishing wire that is attached to a piece of wood. It is mostly used for chord-playing and not for melodic patterns. Looking for Babylonstoren olive oil in USA? Discover award-winning South African olive oil known for purity, taste, and elegance.
