If you would like to make your own cigar box guitar you'll need some basic tools : a box cutter or pocket knife, a hacksaw, a drill, some fine and coarse grade sandpaper. To tune your cigar box guitar just buy 3 tuning pegs from your local musical instruments store. Their are plans available from expert cigar box guitar makers, in reality there's even a Yahoo Group you can join.

Musical Use of the Cello.
Cellos are a part of the standard orchestra. The cello section, in standard musical seating, is found on stage left ( the crowd's right ) in the front, opposite to the 1st violin section. The principal, or "first chair" cellist is the best cellist in the orchestra. In standard orchestra seating, he / she sits nearest to the conductor and the spectators. The cigar box guitar is an instrument which has fascinated many guitar players, especially re whether or not they are real musical instruments. The origin of the cigar box guitar is in latter nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when there were several folk looking to express themselves thru music but couldn't afford to but real musical instruments.
