Well I got busy and made a couple of canjos for the great niece and great nephew. Since the are 4 and 3 years old respectively, they will probably need adult supervision to start with. They are diatonically fretted with the 6 1/2 fret. I tuned them to D but since they are one string it really doesn't matter until they try to play with someone else.

Since the kiddos are quite you (3 and 4 years) I went with 20 inch scale on these. Turns out, even though they are small, they are comfortable for adults to play with as well!
Nice work. I currently have six empty tea canisters that are going to become canjos. My first canjo was built with standard 25" fetting, but I think the new ones will be the dulcimer fretting.
