For the already low price of the completed 1860s style cigar box fiddle body, you get the most comprehensive book on making PLAYABLE and nice-sounding cigar box fiddles (not an interesting looking but unplayable instrument to hang on the wall), Cigar Box Fiddles: About Them and How to Make Them..

The Body: This is the completed body only for making an 1860s style cigar box fiddle just like the ones made by Don Rickert Lutherie. Made from Spanish Cedar with a Western Red Cedar top.

The Book: Most comprehensive reference available for making several different types of cigar box fiddles that are easy to play and sound great.

This book provides a general introduction to cigar box fiddles, their history, the differences between the solid wood 19th Century style fiddles and “modern” cigar box fiddles made from cheap plywood. The majority of the book deals with the actual making of two different types of cigar box fiddle, as well as a variation, a whiskey bottle box fiddle. 150 pages with over 100 illustrations.
