How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?
I play an array of Instruments from banjo to hurdy gurdy. I picked up a Guitar Dulcimer 3 years ago and thought i would Make a cigar box version. this went by the wayside and unfinished. Then i discovered the Diddley Bow. I finished the cigar box diddley 10-20-2011 with a Camel Snus resonator. I will be putting a Transuducer in next and give it a wirl. will post pictures soon.I have also Just ordered a custome Cigar box Fiddle with a Strum stick dulcimer neck from Blaine Horlocker who made my dulcimer. He really likes a challenge. will send pics on that also. If interested in having speciall items made like this you may want to check him out at http://smokeymountaindulcimer.com/
