I began building stick dulcimers a few months ago and am experimenting with piezo pickups.  However I am getting an awful hum from the pickup even though I have been very careful with the soldering etc.  Can anyone help me with this??

I live in Canada as well, I buy my boxes at a local smoke shop. They love selling them seening as throwing them away costs them money! And as an added bonus, we can get some really nice Cuban boxes our friends to the south can't.

Thanks for the response, no I didn't check his site out yet but I will.    I am still trying to figure out in my mind how to attach the neck securely to the cigar box..........guess I need to do more research.

In Canada you can get Cuban cigar box's, we can't.  Canadiens do smoke cigars.
