[musicfamily]

It looks like fretless. It's beautiful and it sounds good too. Well done.

[GutterDoll138]

I;ve got one of those cookie tins from Christmas! lol I think it's gonna probably have to remain a cookie tin.

Cause I highly doubt I could carve out that wood neck, you know? Aw darnit! Haha Too cool! :)

[Supercat100100]

[meatloafgodxer]

[NRamirezCR]

[cutechel95]

that's so cool

[battygrim]

i like the sound of this one. i especially like how you show off the piece in each one of your homemade piece videos. the ole top to bottom view. good stuff man.

[timjmoran]

wow! Great Job Bruno! I had fantasized for a long time about what a Tin can would sound like as a resonator for a banjo.. never actually did it.. and here you are , with your great sounding instrument!

Way to go ! Seems like a Fretless would be tough to play, no?

[BrunoEspo]

thanx tim, it's actually easy. sounds like the original mountain banjos and very fun to play.

[yaycelesteyay]

how did you get to round the bottom of the neck... like make it all rounded in order to hold it?

[BrunoEspo]

good question..i traced the radius of the cookie tin and made a wooden template of it. then i glued sand paper to the jig and patiently  sanded it until it fit. after that, i glued a peice of the same wood to the bottom of heel of the intrument that runs through the can. it acts as, what people call a dowel stick.

[butkatrello]

Half scale, perfect octive, just have to do the math> when it com"s to frets, it is base'd on 18 devided, so whith that>get you some

[Zoidberg227]

Sounds pretty good for a homemade instrument! Maybe a bit "tinny" ...

What?

[butlerKNOWSall]

banjo strings?

[BrunoEspo]

yup. good ol' nickel wound :) thanks for watchn'!

[karstenhain]

Is this fretless or is are they just hard to see in the video?

[BrunoEspo]

[himmelstoss66]

impressive! is that Rosco's style of play?

[BrunoEspo]

thanks :o) roscoe used a thumb pick i believe this is more frailing or clawhammer style using the thumb to give an on and off beat

[superbandace]

[BrunoEspo]

with a pocket knife

I believe it was Robin Williams who said: "Anytime a grown white man picks up a banjo, my cheeks tighten." But that mate, was effing brilliant!

[BanjoPariah]

Dang, I hope someday to doodle that well. You never cease to amaze, man. Later.

[BanjoPariah]

WOOOOOO, LUV IT! U are a grizzly. I actually bought a couple of small cookie tins during Christmas time with the hopes of building banjos. Maybe someday. Thanks for showing me how great one can turn out. Please post more found instruments. What tune is this? Reminds me of church. All it needed was a running bass line & a Hammond organ screaming over it & It would've been a normal Sunday morning :)

[BrunoEspo]

haha thanx bro, tuning is standard g :o)

[BanjoPariah]

Sorry, I meant what song is this?
