In the process of being a volunteer piano teacher with students who cannot afford an instrument of any kind. I decided to come up with tunable and playable three string cigar box guitar made from only hardware store parts. That one went on to be featured in Make Magazine in 2006. I tried to make a go of teaching classes making and playing them but between a day job and not much self employment zeal I came up with a simpler one string instrument that I could again do as a volunteer thing. The little guitar plays real music and takes five minutes to build with kids as young as 5.
