How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?: web search

How many instruments have you built so far?: as of 12-27-15, fifteen if you count a somewhat failed tremolo box I got plans from in Vintage Gtr Magazine

Every December the past few years, my band has played in Palo Pinto TX, about 70 mi west of Ft Worth. It's county seat for the county of same name even though it's unincorporated. But it has quite a history as you can see from this small sample here. J. Tom Butler must have been some musician. This "cello" he built from scrap wood and what seems to be bailing wire (or piano strings) is a gem of Americana folk art and cigar box greatness. The bridge is…
