Nothing like you've ever heard before...it's one string pulled through a can! Some say the acoustic sound is a blend between a mandolin and mountain dulcimer with a little open back banjo twang thrown in. Plugged in, it sounds like "Jimi Candrix"...way cool!

"He established the CanJoe Company in 1994" THATS WHEN I WAS BORN! ok i am going to follow this man's foot steps, i will make a electric canjoe with two or three strings and make a band and carry on the canjoes legacy, one string is good but two i can be creative, and i been singing for 6 years so that gives me a boost, i love you channel and what you do, thanks for inspiring me.
