In this episode, I demonstrate the first cigar box guitar I ever built. This one is over twenty years old. A neighbor and friend tweaked the design by adding a piece of cedar to the headstock, among other improvements. This instrument has three strings. I often play blues music on it, as I do here in this recording.<hr> Hosted on Acast.

In this podcast, I introduce musical instruments I have made myself, using objects I found in and around the house. This is in keeping with the folk tradition where people make instruments from whatever is available. You can make your own instruments,as well! This podcast is designed to inspire you. What you make and how you make it is up to you. Factory-made instruments tend to be made a certain way, using specific materials and methods. The folk tradition allows for a lot more creativity and flexibility. When it comes to drums made by a craftsperson, for example, no two drums are exactly alike. <hr> Hosted on Acast.
