CIGAR BOX BARITONE UKULELE
-
Cigar box stringed instruments date back to the mid-19th century and are typically comprised of an empty wooden cigar box with a chunk of broom handle running through the box and 1-3 strings. They have persisted through the years and presently there is something of a revival going on, and it just seemed right to have some nice cigar box ukuleles made available. The instruments we offer here are made in Michigan using a variety of wooden cigar boxes. The necks, while still very rudimentary, are more "sophisticated" than a chunk of broomstick, being fretted, having position markers & actual tuning machines, and a machine screw for the nut. The bridge floats on the top. All are baritone scale. Of particular note is that all have a built-in transducer with 1/4" jack, so you can "plug-in." While essentially the same from a functional and sound perspective, no two instruments are identical from a cosmetic perspective; they derive that personality from the particular cigar box utilized. So have at it. We are pleased to be able to offer these instruments.
