So, after months and months of failed experiments, last night I am watching Christopher Nolan´s "Inception" with my son, I begin sketching and come up with a perfect idea. To fasten a cigar box to a typewriter. So I jump on my olive green Hispano Olivetti ( The ones that were made in Sabadell in the sixties) and begin with the process. Go to bed thinking I invented something absolutely new and today found on pinterest it was already invented.
So this year Prince is gone, Bowie is gone, Cohen is gone and my marvellous Invention was already invented Long ago
Me sad feeling is.
Anyway, Happy Holidays.

Oh yes, Luis. Build yours, for sure. You will be the only person you know who has one! Then, you can show us how you did it, and CBN members will be scouring second-hand stores looking for typewriters. We already have cigar boxes, so we are half way there! Merry Christmas.
See?
There is something that was never invented before.
How to spread the cream cheese on it evenly is a mistery to me.
Sorry for your letdown, I know the feeling ;) This is great though, I say build it for sure!
Idea off the top of my head - to keep things simple at first and similar to CBGs, put fewer strings on the box and make them interchangeable for different keys/scales. Heck I want to build one now!
I am on it. Thanks.
There has to be a slight bending of the keys, since they all converge on the same spot. That is why the best way is to use a cheap Italian typewriter. Dont try it with an Adler or an Underwood. And yes, it will be twelve strings or something like that at most.
It looks great though. Everybody that dropped by to wish a merry Christmas was flabbergasted.
Thank you very much. Happy new year.
Tough decision ahead, are you gonna be "Pinetop" Indaburu, or "Muddy" Induburu?
I vote for Cream Cheese Luis.
BUILD IT ANYWAY!!! Improve on the concept. Make it your own
