<p>I'm glad that you are a player. I've been rasping away at the fiddle for a couple of years now and play some folk stuff and some blues at local clubs and open mic spotss. I managed to play cigar box fiddle at the 2011 British cigar box festival 'Box stock' open mic event. Although I have a cigar box fiddle, I want to built something more radical in the future.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing the Ohio fiddle.</p>

<p>Someone made an honest attempt and that is its charm. I have played this one and passed it around but it's not played now. I have a couple of proper fiddles and have been sawing away for a few years. I can almost bear myself now. A cbg fiddle is at the top of the list.</p>

<p>That's the problem of looking at a photo' and making a stab in the dark. At least it 'looks' like a fiddle. All of the modern era home made fiddles look like cigar box fiddles. Someone here has made an effort to make a proper looking fiddle, despite the basic woodworking skills - probably about my standard. The finger board is probably made to look like rose wood. I have modern violins with rose wood finger boards and it was common in the baroque era.</p>

<p>Hi YBF,</p>
<p>This was definitely made out in the back shed or the barn. The fb has been painted and grained to look like...I don't know what. The scroll is a stab in the dark and file marks abound. I rubbed chalk into the tool marks but it came out when I wiped off the excess. Not much wear in the 1st position but it could have been repainted.</p>

<p>Very very interesting. A great piece of history if not a great violin / fiddle. Possibly 1930/1950, perhaps mail order (Sears &), the finger board is most interesting as it doesn't <em>seem</em> to be a hardwood.</p>
<p>Thanks for posting this example.</p>
