How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?

Researching homemade harps

How many instruments have you built so far?

Two...kind of.

What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter at least one meaningful sentence, your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).

I live in a house full of junk Mom's collected for decades, and find it so cool that there are others like me who would look in our garage and say "HEY.. You know what i could make with that, that and that? A CELLO! (substitute approp. instrument) Mom is bedridden and has dementia. She's also a retired music teacher. I'm trying to build her something she could play around with in her bed and I came across the video from 2011 of the cigar box harp. Do you have any idea how many cigar boxes are used in this house to store stuff from the 50s? I sure don't..I never really noticed before now all the resonating chambers here with old letters and photos. This place is a gold mine 😎
