Cigar Box Dulcimer Class with Les Barnett

Led by Foxfire demonstrator Les Barnett, this hands-on class invites you to build your own cigar box dulcimer from start to finish. The box and all necessary parts are provided—just come dressed to get a little sawdust on you.

Using basic hand tools, we’ll walk through the full process, including construction, tuning, and intonation, and you’ll learn a few simple songs along the way. By the end of the class, you’ll leave with your own unique, handmade instrument—and the knowledge to play it.
