No Talking; Just Building a 9v Powered Guitar Amp
Hang out with me while I build a custom #guitar #amp powered by a 9 volt battery. I used Cherry wood for the cab, and reclaimed aluminum for the faceplate & kickstand. The circuit is a hand wired iteration of the "noisy cricket".

"Earl Grey" Canjo folk instrument
มุมมอง 330K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
A three stringed folk instrument built around an Earl Grey tea tin. Features custom lasered fret markers, a zero fret, and a piezo pickup.
พิณไทยอีสาน😅???
Dude, awesome job. I've gotta try!
Oh yes. I recommend to everyone. Get yourself such a musical instrument for cheap. And have fun. Start by buying a variety of woodworking machines and other metal and woodworking tools for $30,000. Enjoy
A Canjo made from a Tea Tin, it's A Tea Tinjo.
The Earl Grey
Is like a laotian folk harp😅
So cool 🔊
Hey there, this is Luz from PCBWay Marketing team tuning in. Your instrument craftsmanship is so amazing that made us wonder if our miling/3d printing services could contribute to your future works? For instance, we could be providing new materials for you or simply help facilitate your production time. Believing there are some possibilities in between worth exploring. Feel Free to circle back so we can talk more.
That's awesome... How many watts is it
Смысл?
Great job!! These are really cool instruments. You should make a tin can fiddle. I have tried a couple variations but none have worked
@@JohnBrown-js9ki Thanks! I need to get back to making something soon. What was the main issue on the fiddles?
The main issue was that I am not quite sure how to make the sound resonate well inside of the can.
What is the name of this music composition
@@СерафимКречет Just jamming :)
The most British thing I've ever seen in my god damn life😂
sweet job
...and the point is? ...why showing off by saying such things like "...custom lasered fret markers, piezo pickup..." etc.? showing off or taking the piss out of folk who cannot afford an instrument???
This particular can of tea cost me like $6, are you homeless?
I was wondering, can you play this as an acoustic as well as electric?
Definitely! th-cam.com/users/shortsF-EJqeRXOns?si=iNF_0LxB8SFIfZRE
What do you have the strings at?
Что это за трек? Я готов поспорить, что слышал его от фолк-музыкантов на набережной неделю назад!
still can't comprehend how a 9v is making this speaker move, dude.
Balalaika
The next electric shamisen
You should make a fiddle next
As always, you make incredible things! Love it!
☝️ The brilliant mind that designed the PCB for this project! Thanks Joel!
Always happy to help!
New to the 3 string and CBG scene in general, how are you tuned here and what other fun tunings do you play with?
Looks so great
круто. сделай так русскую балалайку "balalayka" и сыграй коробейников "korobeyniki" из фильма "snatch!")))
Awesome, thanks for the comparison! I like the acoustic sound better... But there's probably lots of advantages to being able to plug in when performing
Cool! I prefer it unplugged, but they both sound nice.
This was awesome to watch! Any info on your laser etcher?
Awesome
Man I used to drink that tea. Good stuff
Tea earl grey hot
Earl Grey Tea Hot, Straight From The Teapot. 🫖 ☕
Sounds really good. It also goes to show you: buy the tins, not the paper boxes.
N I C E ! !
Earl Grey sounds like it could be a name of a bluesman/folk singer from the deep south.
badass!
Picard would be proud
The 2 inch cutoff blade's kerf on the harbor freight saw is 0.023 ? Wow, that's handy...(I use a harbor freight mighty mite with a 4 inch 0.023 jeweler's blade and a sled) Alignment of strings above the pole/metal plugs on a pickup for a stratocaster or telecaster is important, but in my experience for something like a canjo or even a cbg if the strings aren't over a pole it's no big deal, negligible .... of course using an acoustic based piezo pickup you will also get extraneous noise from just handling the canjo amplified, something a magnetic pickup will not do... That said it's a nice build
The 2" blade is probably .02". I found that the frets were slightly tight, so I just ran them all through the saw twice and they come out perfect. Agree with your notes on pickups!
Killing it Kevin! you've got a future in cans and can related instruments.
Great video! I'm always curious--what do these sound like without the electronics? Do they do more for the sound than just give volume?
I love this! Would you ever consider selling these? (not the exact ones in the vid but maybe other ones?) :)
Great build! Could you write down the measurements for the neck?
Love that tea too.
❤❤
I've been waiting for a build video since I saw the original one come out, so this is awesome! I'm planning on building one in the near future, is there any sort of a rough materials list? I'm also curious on the width measurements of the neck, as well as total width of the wings that go inside the can if you happen to know. Thanks!
Hey there! The neck is 30mm wide, and the part inside the can is about 85mm. For a parts list, I guess that would be lumber, wood glue, fret wire, tuning keys, an optional pickup + jack, and a few screws
I feel like the two sections that are missing are loose guides to material selection (namely the can and wood, or someone’s going to use generic home depot 2x4 and be disappointed), and guides to design decisions for someone just starting out who may not know much about what they want to do with the end product yet; string numbers fand tuner arrangement or instance. I feel like generally it’s styled in a loose guide for accessability, which I understand, but a brief word on those would be helpful.
Great points! Just to reply to them - I used cherry wood here. Nearly any hardwood would work, and some "softer" woods as well. A 2x4 could do in a pinch, but you'd be fighting it the whole way. I used these tin cans since they're widely available, but outside of these you might just need to try different items and see how they sound. The number of strings depend on how solid the construction is. Tin is a really soft metal, so I limited it to 3 strings, and even that still caused trouble which forced me to re-think the tailpiece. More strings = more tension on everything.
@@thornbloominstruments I'm actually surprised that it's so forgiving to lower quality woods. So in theory you could make this a four string with the right design of the tailpiece/ bridge area, perhaps with an internal reinforcement for the bridge, or do you think would that affect the acoustics? Do you think the bottom hole in the Earl Grey canjo negatively affected acoustics? Are the screws in the side strictly necessary, or could the can be held on by friction via the bridge and attachments through the endpiece? Also I was quite surprised that adding the electric element would be that simple!
@@farmerboy916since the bridge is over the braced neck in the tin (and directly against the underside of the tin) that brace and neck takes all of the string tension, ideally there should be no tension on the tin... and I saw no need to make a new tailpiece, he could have just used a pair of pliers to crimp the tin overhang down enough to allow free action of the strings to the bridge... AND now that I've watched the video again more closely I see the brace does not lie flat against the interior of the tin, there is a space and that would indeed be a problem for string tension. That would be eliminated by inserting a bridge width sized piece of wood to contact the underside of the tin much like a bridge post in a violin keeps the soundboard from cracking under the string tension...
You really have nothing to worry about for length; it’s not overly technical though I personally wouldn’t mind that. Great style, very well edited and produced. An average person may have some difficulty but it shouldn’t be insurmountable with some googling
THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH
You have inspired me to attempt building an electric 4 string canjo with as little money as possible. Once I do that I’m going to be making my own tea canjo. Thank you so much!!
I'd love to see it!
Hope ya'll enjoy! Leave me a comment if I missed anything, some parts got cut for length.
