Cardboard Guitars

[James]

Yup that's right - guitars made out of cardboard. :)

A friend brought my attention to this site - http://www.musikit.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=cardboard

There are several stringed instruments that are made out of cardboard. Construction is suitable for almost all ages although they are aimed specifically at children.

The instruments have four strings for simplicity. I wonder if they could be persuaded to make a kit for an eight-string tapper, or the same building techniques could be employed for custom instruments?

And I mean that.

Does anyone sit on a cardboard couch?

I mean really (said with silliness)

Yup that's right - guitars made out of air. :)

OH MY GOODNESS!

Why bother studying?

Darnit!

I can't vouch for the air guitar. But one could argue that the cigar-box guitar was significant in the history of music in the USA. Just read down the list:

I can't take it.

And for those that want something different, there's always the cardboard bass: http://www.edencompanies.com/bogdon/

Hope the player doesn't perspire.
