Inspired by our feature story on cigar-box instruments, Bit & Grain brings you a unique, one-of-a-kind pop up shop! Handmade in New Bern, musician David English crafts these instruments from found objects that reveal decades of North Carolina history. For a limited time, Old North State music lovers, collectors, and players can purchase a guitar, ukulele or dulcimer specially curated for Bit & Grain.
