This Cookie Tin Banjo is Unexpectedly Awesome! 

That looks like so much fun! We are supposed to get 24 inches of snow the next couple of days and I think I have everything I need at home to put one of these together. Might be a good snow day project while stuck at home.

I made one for a school instrument project and it was somehow everybodys favourite so thank you very much!

Sounds great. Might have to whip one up.

Your enthusiasm is infectious - I have a big grin on my face. I love what you've done here and I love that you love it so much. Great work.

That really has a great reso sound quality. Great mods. Cool build and awesome finished instrument.

Nice, thanks for the follow up!

I’ll have to make one.

One of my favorite builds is a "Backscratcher Diddly-Bo". A cigar box with a Dollar Store bamboo backscratcher screwed to it and a couple of sound holes drilled into it. I tied the string to each end of the backscratcher and used two bottle caps(Nut and Bridge) to bring the string to tension. No real way to tune it, but it is a blast to noodle on. Single string and a slide sounds really cool. Box was free, Bottle caps were recycled. A dollar for the backscratcher and less than a dollar for the string. Of course, the backscratcher is now $1.25, so I can never build one that cheap again. LOL!!

RIGHT ON, MAN ! Totally groovy ! 😄

Nice job Kale,sounds really good 👍

Taking the flex out of the back plate is doing a lot, acoustically speaking.

Wow a great sound, I'll be adding that to the project list!

Me and my friend are deeply i intrigued and want to make these. How would we go about making them 4 string?

Sounds great! What strings did you use? Phosphor bronze, Nickel? What gauges? Plain or wound? And what is the scale length. Inquiring minds want to know!

Far freaking out Life is slowing down around here so I will soon get back to making and building. Be well

wow that is truly so cool. I think really this would be the instrument I attempt in the future~~ Sounded great plugged in too~! and what is that slide? it doesn't look like any slide I've ever seen>

very cool bro

Maybe raise the strings. They sound like they are hitting something,

Question, would you run into any issues using an electric delta 3 pole pickup from CBGitty? Feedback from the metal tin?

Hi, your cookie tin banjo is really awesome! As for myself, I recently made a DIY one-string guitar also using a cookie tin box together with a broom stick.

Could I add a fourth string?
