I periodically like to check my link to Jake Wildwood's Antebellum Instruments blog. I have been looking at some of these "homemade" instruments recently on eBay. [Keni Lee Burgess has some great videos on YT with 3, 4, and 6 string cigar box guitars.] Some are fretless for sliding bottleneck blues. Jake takes pictures of his adopted and repaired instruments as if they were his children - click the title above to see this old cigar box ukulele entry as well has hear him sing play on this vintage instrument. Thank you Jake, HU
Re cigar box ukes - Elderly Instruments currently (8/22/09)has 5 cigar box baritones for sale, each with built-in transducer & jack so it can be plugged-in & played. They make for interesting browsing.
