I decided to make a 2 string guitar from a cigar box and a plank of maple. It came out really nice despite a series of happy accidents. The instrument is tuned E-e.

Good Looking Dusky Build Poorness, also have a 2 string Ee which I love, great sound to it and they're a lot of fun.  :-)

Nice build and story  Two octave spread? 

Comment by François on April 28, 2019 at 5:20am

Quite interesting how it sounds.

I'll have to spread the string apart on my test strum stick and see what it sounds like. I find that when they're close together I tend to get a buzzing sound coming from their different diameter and the slide.
