CBG Tabs
So you built your CBG and now you need something to play on it, right? Well, if you're not completely musically inclined or can't read traditional music, tabs are your answer. If you're like me, you read tabs and sometimes make them. Paste'em here.
Dulcimers and Strummers
This group is opened to everyone that builds, plays or just likes the sound of a dulcimer. Both the strum and lap types, it`s all in the fretting.
Can Jo Consortium
The simplest little resonator instrument of all. Please add links to plans, photos of your canjos and ideas you've found that make the most of this diminutive instrument.(The image is a temporary placeholder, I'll replace it any day now!)See More
DUMPSTER DIVER'S MUSIC UNION
Scavengers unite! We want to know what unusual trash you've used to build instruments. Post your trash-to-treasure creations. Follow up on Dumpster Diver contests.See More
Diddley Bows and Other Primitives
A place to discuss one-string diddley bows, washtub basses, washboards and any other primitive instrument that may fall outside the Cigar Box realm.
Low Budget Land

"It plays great, That hold down is made from corian. The CBG was fine without it, but I wanted a little more tension on the nut. I always use an oak neck with Cabrillas boxes when I want a nice color match."
