Klangbox Cigar Box Violin no 3

Posted by Elmar Zeilhofer on May 13, 2012 at 12:53pm

The third cigar box fiddle.. I like the sound of this one better than n°1 and n°2. The box is bigger, I payed more attention to the inner bracing and the position of the sound post. It has a remarkable sustain, but I have no idea whether this is good or bad for violins. I like it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2cfKuTGL0A www.klangbox.at

Crimson, thanks! There are some more pics about the guts at my violin blog http://www.cigarboxnation.com/profiles/blogs/building-a-cigar-box-f...

I have made a neck-template in .pdf, if you would like to have it, I would e-mail it to you. That violin thing is new to me and I would be pleased to share experience

Great looking instrument...Elmer...really beautiful...hope you have a few more build pics showing how to work the insides, because just looking at this gives me incentive to get out in the shop and build one too...

Just listened to your sound sample. Very nice. Also some of your other videos. The Reso bass is outstanding. So are your slim humbuckers. I'll have to look up your site and check those out better. Thanks... Dave

If you like it it is good. The top of homemade music. The best I've seen.
