Made my first Canjo the other day...been wanting to do one since seeing the ones Lois had done.This one's just a bit of a test run really, hence the classy Tesco's chopped tomatoes tin!! but it works and is really fun to play.I've just recorded my Christmas song using it : - )...called "Canjo Christmas"I used thin garden wire just twisted on for the frets, so I could adjust them, as you can't adjust the bridge (which is just the end of the can!)...not ideal as there are sharp bits that keep stabbing me while I play : -/Glad I did the frets like that though, with something temporary, and using a tuner to adjust them. If I'd have done something permanent where the fret calculator told me to put them, they would have been way out!!!
