| Eaerliest image of cigar-box instrument, American Civil War |
Couldn’t believe my eyes. A classic cigar-box ukulele on sale at Aldi for $29.99. True. And it has a pickup! All you do is string it up, stick the bridge into the body then wait six months for the strings to stretch (it is a uke), then play away. Everything supplied, including instructions, songs, chords and a CD. Even a bit of verandah music history on cigar-box instruments. Happy strumming on the very cheap.
