I bet you find that very therapeutic....it's a full on rock dirty sound....get yourself a loud band to go with it.

@Flopsydoodle yep Diddley Bows are very theraputic to play!!

@bemuzic Wow, I never knew there was a website for cigar box instruments! Thanks for the tip.

@plinthman thanks, yeah 2 strings is good..I've made a two string Cigar Box Guitar and a 2 string bass (there are vids on of both) Check out the Cigar Box Nation website for ideas and help : -)

Wow, you made something so simple yet so cool! And made from recycled parts. It sounds great.

I want to do something like this soon, but maybe with 2 strings.

P.S. I live right near the Ouse too (King's Lynn)
