Do sound holes on an electrified cigar box guitar really make a difference in how it sounds, or is it just for looks?

Does anybody know of any Cbc festivals in IL? Need to get together with like minded people.

I honor those who can build fancy instruments.I give more encouragement to others like myself who create a instrument and work hard to make it sound good with the limited materials they have. Then pass it on to others. The gift of music lasts a lifetime.
