The e-bay piece is like a relic.  That is the real raw americana there.

found a cool old fiddle made from a cigar box on e-bay--just thought of posting it here for its pictorial value to the members here.

Thanks for the info Ben I will slack it off. Yeah that was a fun build and plan on doing another one using a bigger box. It`s a blast playing it but still have to tweek it alittle. Change string gauges[ heavier strings more bass sound], change the bone saddle[ needs to have a steeper angle on the side strings so the middle string can be bowed], and woodburn fret dots on the side of the neck for reference points. As soon as I get the hang of playing it I`ll do a vid, just so you all can hear it.

Randy - Very Cool! I'm so jealous! (Side point...I know every bow is different but that one looks really tight. The stick should bow the other way so that there's about a pencil's width between the hair and the stick at the closest point. That'll keep the bow responsive and minimize how it warps over time [all wood bows will get pulled to one side or the other over time]). Great Build Though!
