Cigar Box Fiddle Played by Oliver Craven of the Stray Birds

Finished the sound check for these guys and had some free time so Oliver was kind enough to demonstrate my cb fiddle prior to the Stray Birds concert in Romney WV.

Thanks Richey. It doesn't sound quite as good when I play it!

Incredible Jim. What a fantastic sounding instrument!

Thanks Rob. It's always a thrill to hear how good one of these instruments can sound in the right hands!

Very Nice !

Yeah Keith, he sure can play. Of the 15 CB fiddles I've made this is the keeper for me. I made one other that sounded this good and I'm still mad at myself for selling it 3 years ago!

Jim, that sounds good, and he sure can play it.

Yeah Slowpaw. Oliver's the real deal. Thanks so much Nancy! I'm sure Charlie would like that MikeBoy. He mentioned being interested in a gourd banjo, which I also have made a couple of, but if you beat me to it good on you!

I was so excited to see a CB Fiddle in the hands of Oliver when I saw the post on Facebook.  Then noticed the link was from Cigarboxnation... Way cool that you worked the sound form them.  Looks like I'll have go build a CBG Bass for Charlie!

Fantastic build Jim!
