You don’t need to spend a ton of money on an instrument to make great music, as Hunter the Spoon Man clearly demonstrates with his impressive covers of Billy Strings and other challenging songs played on spoons.

Although he tends to favor the modern version of the spoons—a one-piece design carved out of wood—rather than the kind you can find in your kitchen, his videos have turned a whole new generation of TikTokers onto the instrument, which has deep roots in American folk music.
