  Here's a new 2 stringer that I based on the infamous chugger video. It has a 1 1/4 round dowel neck with a thrift store jewelry box body. The tuner and tailpiece holes are covered with gear decorations. I equipped it with a piezo pickup. It's tuned D-A. I cut notches to mark the fret positions (24" scale length) and used 3mm flat back crystals for dot markers. The nut is 2 flat head screws.

  

  One little quirk with it is that the low D tuner is first and the high A is last. I had to arrange it this way because I cut the headstock area a bit short and I had to squeeze in the tuners to fit.

  I am glad I found this interest group! Due to hand injuries I think that a "chugger" is going to be much more likely to produce music for me than a 3 string. I've got an "Acid" cigar box that is going to be the box resonator for my first build, which will have a replaceable plastic scale on the side of the stick, so it can indicate diatonic, etc. scales by just magnetically tacking on the new plastic scale. Am considering 1.25" hickory stick for the 26" neck and threaded brass rod for the nut and bridge. This is still in the very early stages of design, just thinking on paper so far.

  Does anyone out there have an idea as to what strings and what tunings J.P.Soars uses on his 2 stringer?...

  Hi 2 stringers, I thought I'd put some of my recent builds.
  I got one 3 stringer and one 1 stinger in there.
  Hope you enjoy them.

  I just wanted to share that I have a new favorite tuning for my slide canjo. Double octave E. E2 and E4. It's got a weird trashy/campy sort of feel.  I love it. With the coffee can twang it is quit bizarre how the two strings ring together but they almost sound like they shouldn't.
