Just when we were considering pulling our Cigar Box Fiddle Authentic 1860s Style from our online catalog at Adventurous Muse because ya'll are not ready to pay for the best-sounding and most playable 1860s style cigar box fiddle, we got the news that a video of our instrument is being aired on TV (details below). In the video, Troy Parker is doing the playing, accompanied by Michael Fox on diatonic banjo, which is kind of a cross between a banjo and dulcimer (marketed as a Dulcijo). Troy is a very well-respected authority on and performer of mid-19th Century fiddling and Michael Fox is quite well-respected as well.
