<p>Makes perfect sense, Ron.</p>
<p>If you are proficient with the diatonic scale, then that's the scale to use. It's all about having some fun.</p>
<p>That being said, with your current DAd tuning, you are right in the heart of CBG tuning. Playing chromatic scale with this tuning is fairly easy.</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing your build.</p>

<p>I have built several dulcimer's and quite a few strum sticks, I never could get the hang of playing a guitar, but I am able to play the dulcimer really well.</p>
<p>I became very comfortable with the diatonic scale of the dulcimer and decided to make the Cigar Box Guitar the same way, I would really like to be able to play a Cigar Box Guitar with a chromatic scale, but I am very illiterate when it comes to reading any kind of sheet music or figuring out the chords.</p>

<p>With the diatonic scale I strum the strings while fretting the smallest string on the instrument, I play using tabs. </p>
<p></p> Gorgeous #1, nice work Ron!

<p>Thanks for clarifying the tuning and scale.</p>
<p>Diatonic tuning is common on dulcimer while chromatic is more common on guitar.</p>
<p>What led you to choose diatonic tuning? Is it more fitting with the type of music you play?</p>
<p>Regardless, it is a great looking instrument. Post a short music clip when you get a chance. Would love to hear it.</p>

Tuned to DAd<br />
The fret layout is diatonic<br />
Yes it is electrified<br />
It sounds really good

<p>Congratulations on your first build.</p>
<p>What is the tuning scheme? I notice that the frets are spaced more like a dulcimer than a guitar.</p>
<p>The wood on the box looks great!</p>
<p>Is it electrified?</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing the photos.</p>
