How To Build A Canjo: A Complete How-To Manual for Building A One-String Tin Can Banjo (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781093605563)

In this complete illustrated how-to guide, Ben "Gitty" Baker walks you through how to build your own canjo (one-string tin can banjo). All of the key concepts are covered, from choosing the right can, to finding a neck, installing frets, sourcing and installing hardware, tuning and even how to play lessons Canjos are easy to build and play, and a great project for young and old alike. There is no better way to get a child interested in making music than to give them the opportunity to BUILD THEIR OWN instrument and then play it. The canjo is a perfect way to spark their interest and get them started on a lifetime of making music. The author has been a huge fan and major advocate of canjos ever since receiving one as a gift over a decade ago, and event which sparked his interest in homemade instruments and led to the founding of C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply, the premiere worldwide supplier of parts, kits and gear related to homemade instrument building (including cigar box guitars and other homemade instruments in addition to canjos).
