Wherein the maker of such instrument inflates the bladder of a freshly butchered hog like a balloon, applies a lacquer and then lets dry in the sun. When said tune-bag is fully dried and dessicated they then drill holes in it. Blowing through the mouth piece as they do in order to achieve the correct notes. Little know fun fact: Jeff Tweedy was given a appalachian hog bladder tune bag as a small child. He credits the hog bladder tune bag for his devotion to music and to pork.
