In
Australia, this instrument constructed with beer-bottle tops is known as a lagerphone. In
Newfoundland, it is referred to as an "
ugly stick". In the Dutch province of
Friesland this type of instrument is known as a '
kuttepiel'. In the American upper-
Midwestern states of
Minnesota and
Wisconsin, the closely related
vozembouch,
stumpf fiddle or
pogocello originated in
Czech communities and adds small cymbals, strings, and a drum. A similar instrument, the batih, is found in
Ukraine. The "zob stick" variation of this
instrument was constructed and named in 1968 by
percussionist and
songwriter Keef Trouble of the
band Brett Marvin and the Thunderbolts and
Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs, and included a sprung-
boot attached to the bottom of the pole and a metal sleeve round its centre, to be hit with a serrated wooden stick. It is now, with the term ‘Lagerphone’, the most commonly used name for this instrument. The term '
zob' was taken from the British
naval slang term for "penis". File:Jingling Johnny (26020760613).jpg|Instrument labeled
