unplugged, canjo, body, Stowe, acoustic

Playing the Mutant Cookie Tin Banjo/Dobro/Slide Guitar that I made. . .The body is an old cookie tin and the neck is a 3 foot 1/2... the tuning gears once belonged to an old beaten up and broken classic guitar.This is "Unplugged" or acoustic . . . even though I do have it wired for sound with a Piezo Transducer, I wanted this video to give an example of the instrument's natural sound. Sorry about the ground or white noise in the video, ...I tried to use an equalizer on the video to remove the white noise but it altered the tone of the instrument, so I decided to leave the sound alone with no equalizerI got the thing tuned to this weird (top to bottom) D-D-g-d tuning, which I thought sounded cool

Sounds very powerful for unplugged. Very successful.
