Just a quick demonstrationHomemade One String CANJO...Short Scale Cookie Tin Banjo Thing made from left over parts,..A 1/2 neck and a Dollar Store cookie tin used for the body.....With one classical guitar nylon string tuned somewhere between a B and a C.

hi mark, thank's for accepting me as a friend. i am going to make my first fretless slide guitar, wonder if you could tell me the best height for the string's. thank's, gary
I tend to drill guide holes in the can then cut it with some old stainless steel scissors, I cut the hole in an X or V type shape use pliers to peal it back a little squeeze the neck inside and use screws to secure it into place... I'll try and post a picture of the inside of the thing in a couple of days... I think it will explain it better
I like the intact "Nutrition Facts" label on the tin...Serving Size: 1 canjo.
The quick pulloff note clusters remind me of Middle Eastern music somehow.
Maybe this is how I oughtta get back into building...something with one string and frets. I wanna make the frets out of something goofy, though. Nails or something.
Pretty Canjo, Mark. And as I expected, you make it sound good. I am sure there are others besides you and me to make fretted one strings, but not a lot of them out there.
