You may have noticed that my avatar is a pic of on old gray headed guy playing a solid bodied electric harp. That's me.

So I was pleased as punch when a harp friend posted this link for me on the web: A Cigar Box Harp!

One of my current projects is to attempt to recreate this harp, just based off the pictures. Here's hoping it'll look / sound as good, when I finally finish it. (Here's hoping I'll actually finish this within the next 6 years or so.

11"L x 6 5/8"W x 2"D

Casa Torano Robusto boxes work well for this also, the boxes measure 11"L x 5 1/2"W x 2"D

  Dang, missed on the Length, close on the Width, spot on Depth-wise. :-)

I've been trying to make a cigar box harp - what are the dimensions of the cigar box in this picture?
- Ron "Oily" Sprague > Deette Bunn July 5, 2014 at 7:59am
  
  Guessing from the pic roughly 13" x 6" x 2"

  Sorry, I don't know. A harper friend posted that pic to me and I don't know any background about it.
