I've been following the info on this site for about a year now, but I finally signed up not too long ago. I'll get some pictures of my first two builds up in the next few weeks I hope!
I'm looking into making a cigar-box banjo of the 5-string variety. Now if it all possible, I'd like it to play good and loud even if it's unplugged. So I'm thinking about what kind of box to use for this, and I'm a bit clueless.
I'd guess big, deep, and wooden would be good places to start. Anybody got any tips for getting the most acoustic sound out of one of these badboys?
Peace,
-Nathan
P.S. Anybody ever tried putting Nylgut strings on one of these?
