There are a bunch of really cool traditional eastern European songs I also want to learn. It's a beautiful instrument. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I didn't actually make my own box. After researching some, I found that it's way too expensive to make your own as the pieces are pretty rare.

It's a really cool little instrument, and making the melodies is fairly complicated, but totally worth it. It sounds so good. Read how I did it…
