"Rattle-Caps" are inspired by the ancient African 'sistrum' and are carved from solid hardwood and lovingly assembled with colorful bottle caps, beads, guitar picks, coins, shells and whatnot that the good "Dakta" finds in his pockets during his travels...you'll just love groovin' to life with your very own "Rattle-Cap". Get into the Zen of it - what is the sound of one "Rattle-Cap" rattling? Come on, you just know you can't live without one. And two are twice as much fun!

NEW IN 2010, Tamboura Productions proudly introduced our line of hand-crafted cigar box guitars, diddley-bows and banjo-ukes - Doctor Easy's Sonic Boxes! Thinking-within-the-box as he is wont to do, the good doctor can often be found in his tiny shop creating one-of-a-kind musical instruments from unique and colorful cigar boxes and beautiful, select hardwoods, both native and exotic. Using vintage hand and power tools and other odd bits 'n pieces he's squirreled away over the years such as old keys, sundry plumbing parts, polished stones and interesting bottle caps, this crafty ol' codger combines his years of imagination, working with his hands and playing music to make musical instruments that are both artistically aesthetic and purely practical. Instruments range in price from $125 - $350 depending upon type, style and appointments - and electronic pick-ups can be installed as an option!
As Dr. Easy himself often not-so-tactfully says: "My cigar box guitars are just as happy on your wall as they are in your hands. Now, make me happy and buy one." (Video will be coming shortly!)
