Twister Strums LLC is a veteran owned small business whose focus is repurposing reclaimed wood, cigar boxes and other devices into functional folk art, cigar box guitars, roots music instruments and other handcrafted instruments. We hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to drop us a line.
Seven plus years ago, the wife asked me to make her a mountain dulcimer. Somewhat reluctantly, I said yes. After it was finished, she decided that she wanted a second one for a different playing style. Next came some handcrafted instruments for gifts. Soon I had orders for friends of family members.
Fast forward to January 2018, I had the opportunity to attend the New Orleans Cigar Box Guitar Festival. After meeting Shane Speal, Ben "Gitty" Baker, Dave Sutton and numerous other aficionados, I was hooked on cigar box guitars. In March 2019, I was told "Either you start selling these instruments or quit building them. We are out of room". Twister Strums LLC was formed in April 2019.
