Drummond & Hammett
Cigar-box guitars first became popular during the Great Depression when people couldn’t afford to buy instruments and made their own with whatever they could find lying around.
Eight decades later, Pat Hammett and Tom Drummond are tapping into that Southern tradition from afar and crafting beautiful cigar-box guitars for a new generation passionate about the Blues music they both adore.
In their Bristol workshop, Tom builds the body of the guitar and the neck, while Pat adds the strings and gives each instrument a unique handcrafted finish.
The Working Artisans’ Club is presented by Huck and O’Neill.
