My Movable Fret Cigar Box Guitar - Play it Like a Dulcimer!

Hey, fellow artist! In my last video, I showcased my short-scale cigar box guitar featuring unique movable and removable copper frets. If you missed it, check out how I made my movable copper frets – it plays great as a learner guitar with 5 frets in first position, tuned to GBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4BhZdZ42H0 But the experiment doesn't stop there! In this follow-up, I push the versatility of this DIY instrument even further. Watch as I retune my CBG to GDG and reconfigure those movable frets into a diatonic dulcimer configuration. You'll see how I use the first two strings as drone strings, then improvise a melody on the last string, demonstrating the incredible new possibilities of these diatonic fret positions. This video explores the adaptability of my short-scale guitar with movable frets and showcases how a simple design can unlock new musical avenues. I'm so excited about this instrument that I'm considering building more movable fret guitars! What do you think of this cigar box guitar design?
