One man from Neenah found a new way and new materials to make musical instruments.
For most of his adult life Bruce Lee Rose has been making traditional string instruments at his home in Neenah. A serious accident to his right hand, however, changed his life.

With the help of his wife, Bruce is once again able to make instruments—out of cigar boxes.
