How many instruments have you built so far?: 50 +

What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here (at least one sentence long), your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).: How expressive these instruments can be and how building them and coming up with new ideas is only limited by our imagination. Plus I love open tunings and one string instruments.

Also, I think I may have competition for the world's most dangerous uke. Ha ha! But seriously, check out this vid: https://cigarboxnation.com/video/ukulele-meets-modular-synth

Keep up the great vids man. I always look forward to them.
