Julianne Johnson on a Cigar Box Fiddle

Here's an old-time fiddle tune on the cigar box violin Jeff and I finished this weekend. You can see pictures of the fiddle and its construction in this album: http://www.cigarboxnation.com/photo/albums/cigar-box-fiddle-1 . It sure was a fun project!

This is great!!!! I love vids like this where you can just close your eyes and the music takes you to a different place in time.

WOW!

Thanks so much, y'all. What a fun project.

You're right Jim, Jeff already has the wood for his banjo's neck glued together. It should be a little simpler than this fiddle I think, so I bet it'll be done pretty soon. After that, I have a box for a mandolin picked out.

Wow Marcy! Looks and sounds great. This may be your first build but I'm betting it won't be your last! Beautiful playing too! Love me some Julianne Johnson. Now Jeff needs a cigar box banjo - or uke at the very least.

Wow!  Looks and sounds so good.
