I recently scored a bunch of these tobacco tins at a flea market.
I have no idea what to do with them, so I posted a survey on Cigar Box Nation: Facebook for ideas. I'm posting some of them below.
Have you made instruments out of these? Post pics and descriptions in the comments!
Zach Giambalvo - Effects pedals
William Scott - pocket Amps
Dana Weigel - Microphone
Andrew Burick - Make some canjos!
George Brunner - Pedals, or powered pickup battery boxes with treble bass and distortion knobs. Or a bridge for a lap steel.
Zachariah B Adams - Resonators
Darryl Kernaghan - Kalimba
Michael Hutson Baby - ukes
Bob Harrison - I made a reso out of them
David Patterson - Tinkulele...
Jonathan M. Greiner - A box guitar to hold strings,pics,and tip money. Or a belt buckle... amp
Todd Mayo Mini - diddly bow.
Joseph Cerroni - Diddley bow bridge.
Dwane Reese - Ok , cover for your headstock. Done right the tuners would look cool coming through the tins. ?
Adam Wilken - A banjo, a mando and a 3 string slide guitar
Shawn Mattox - Zz top uses those to hold their wireless rigs attached to their guitar straps. Prince Albert brand.
Joey Delgado - Reverb tanks
Chris Schoolcraft - Why not a cigar box harmonica
Allen Scaff - Guitar strap turn buckle
Alex Bartman - 9volt powered belt clip amps.

Brydon Barclay - One of those nail harp things.

Add BBs. Mini stomp box.
The lid to that tin looks like the perfect cover for a single coil pickup or a rail. :)
Good idea.
Some sort of shaker percussion that you strap to your leg
Cowbells.
There's never enough cowbells.
