BANJO BUILD OFF SWAMP WITCH 3

banjo buildoff... YUP , I popped an aged skin tambourine in a double wide SW body , and used a dollar store drip plate as the screen . etc etc …BUT , it is more than just a tambourine in a guitar body , I retro-fitted the skin and tambourine body to act as those toy kids echo microphones , with the addition of proper gauge spring , pulling tension directly from the skin , then to the body . To make like an echo / reverb tank . it works very well . will even echo your voice like the toy mic does .It’s like a national , a banjo , and a swamp witch had an orgy and this popped out . ;-)

  • Thanx Unk and Gary ,  The skin tam was a new item , just made with an aged look .  came out of the store like that .  

  • Brilliant description, Pick, for a brilliant build!  ;-)

    So, did you 'age' the skin yourself, or have some help from Father Time?  Looks awesome, regardless!

  • I like the look and the sound.  Glad you found an aged tam, a new one would just not be right in this placement.  Cool.
