I'm not sure how Chris tuned it. He stated that he had it in an open D tuning, but not sure if it was, or how. I have tuned them top string down AEAE and GDGD, but there's all kinds of tunings.
If you can find a world war 1 bedpan use it to build a guitar. The metal is awesome. the problem is, most were melted down during world war 2 to build planes and other military equipment. Try to find a bedpan that doesn't have the enamel baked on it. They sound the best.
That is some really cool stuff!!! That bed pan guitar is more like a dobro...played with a slide. I love this style of music too, & with the backdrop, even cooler!!!!
It does have a cool metal sound like an old National steel guitar. They sure are fun to build and then listening to the sounds they produce. Chris is a great slide player and can really play that thing.
I am just so amazed at the talent and you are playing a bed pan! Wow.... great job!

Is this the same awesome Chris who played and lived in Sarasota for a time?? He's missed, if so.
The Five-o will never be the same

I actually build CGBs and have been using an old bed pan as my dog's water dish for a year now
I can't believe I built one from my old army mess kit but never saw on in the bedpan
