My Latest Creation: A Perfectly Imperfect Canjo



This was an intentionally imperfect build... I tarnished the cookie tin, chose a knotty pine 1x2 for the neck (it has to be played with a slide), which I distressed, rusted the bridge and nut, dented the tin, and inserted a couple of little pieces of rock to rattle inside...  and inside I wrote: "the nature of the beast..."

It's a bit on the quiet side, but plays nicely... not perfectly... but nicely.
