That was just about the coolest thing I have ever heard. I think my next fiddle will be a cigarbox!

Great way to shape the body for the bow space and use the openings as a kind of "f" hole's. I like that and I'm going to build this beauty! The sound is amazing! (Your playing too!) Do you know what kind of wood the body is. Is it laminated or massive. Does it have a soundpost in it? I've build a few cigarbox guitars but this is so special. In my younger days (some 40 years ago) I used to play classical in a few orchestra's. But this is funfunfun!

Thanks Frans. This box was one of the few solid wood, not plywood, boxes I've been able to find. I'm guessing it to be Spanish cedar. It has a soundpost and bass bar inside and the neck is attached with a hangar bolt through the reinforced box end.

David Shewmaker Thanks, I should have mentioned that but couldn't think of his name at the time. Some of these great tunes get played so frequently and sound so old time that we often wrongly forget to credit the composer.

morbanjo Really great playing. I was there when the tune was written, so I periodically go on a mission to make sure credit is given where credit is due. A contra dance was written to go with the tune, of the same name.

Good on you for your mission! I'll have to check out the contra dance.

It's an old out of date dance but there were several others written based on an original figure that is in it.
