<p>Maybe it is just me, but I love to sit there and pick out songs I know or songs people want to play on my Canjo. I own a couple of Canjo Song books from Gitty, and looked around online and found a few, but I thought since this is a community of players, why not start a discussion where people can post Tabs they put down on paper for others to play or learn with. My goal is just to get a collection of tabs together and share.</p>

A lot of fun building this one! How to adjust Intonation???tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2016-05-12:2592684:Topic:25966942016-05-12T10:32:20.754ZBruce Trappeshttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/BruceTrappes
<p>How is intonation on a canjo adjusted? On a CBG you string it up, tune it, check the 0 & 12 frets and adjust the saddle till intonation is correct.</p>
<p>With a canjo where the string is anchored in the end of the can, you have to punch holes in the can to mount it, string it up and check the tuning, find its off, and then .... ???</p>
<p>how do you adjust it after putting the mounting holes in the can?</p>

<p>I bought a 2 string canjo from a guy called Greg at Elstead'15 a brilliant build as were his 3 string CBG's. It has a chromatic fretted neck and this may seem a naive question but how do I use 3 string music tabs? At the moment I have it tuned to D G. </p>

<p>I was curious if anyone had used a 16oz steel powder can as a resonator and if so if they had any tips to pass along. Mine are all this style:<a href="http://www.zoro.com/i/G1191793/?category=8628#imagePopUp">http://www.zoro.com/i/G1191793/?category=8628#imagePopUp</a></p>

<p>ok,i've read somewhere on cbn about fitting a mag pup inside the lid on the tin,my question is-does it need to be under the strings or is anywhere as effective, the bracing i fitted won't let me place the pup near the strings.</p>
<p>i can't re-locate the braces as i used evostik and getting them off is bound to warp the lid...</p>

<p>I'm from Italy, sorry for my poor english. I express myself with photos, hope will be clear my idea. One photo show an old hot water bottle, roughly 100 years old. I opened it carefully, and now I have 2 halves. My idea is to use the wooden guitar body as a megaphone. The brass bell stays on 4 brass pins at some distance from the wood bottom. Not screwed, but free. It stays in place pressed by the strings. Wath do You mean ?</p>
