This is me playing my original tune Not Perfect on my 3 String Cigar Box Ukulele, Harmonica and Suitcase Kick Drum. My CBG is plugged into my Orange Micro Micro Mini. I've only had the short scale, 19" 3 String Cigar Box Guitar/Uke for about a month, so I'm still learning. I really like the sound of it with the harp. I'm playing a C Hohner Harmonica cross harp in the key of G. The song only has 3 chords - G, C7 and G7. I hope you like it.

Thanks so much Poorness. I really appreciate the encouragement. The suitcase drum is actually a suitcase that my son outfitted so I can connect the foot pedal to it.  It sounds pretty good acoustically, but sounds great mic'd. It also carries all my harps, the foot pedals, hats, and other various things. It's a very useful instrument!

Great vid. A great combination of instruments. The suitcase drum adds a lot. This is a fun little tune. Thanks for sharing.

Great job! Love the use of the harp and voice together. Very tight togetherness of it all.
