Wow Steve. That looks fantastic! Your builds just keep getting better. That’s a beauty.

[@stevesstrings5243]

Thanks, Kale! I learn something new from each build. I really like how this one turned out!

[@musicalmiscellany]

@@stevesstrings5243 I did see this one. I just forgot about it. Great build Steve.

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

Another great instrument. I like your idea of toning down the tininess of the tin with the paper.

[@stevesstrings5243]

Thanks, Daniel! I think I'll do that from now on! Thanks for watching and commenting!

That’s a nice clean build, Steve. I like that a lot. Sounds really good, too.

[@stevesstrings5243]

Thanks, John! I like how it turned out.

Hi Steve. Nice clean design. A little more bass than a banjolele. Looks like a fun build.

[@stevesstrings5243]

Thanks! I like how it turned out. The DGBE tunning is certainly lower than the gCEA tunning. I think it makes the tin sound less brash. Thanks for watching and commenting!

That’s it, I’m subscribing. 🙃

Thanks! I really appreciate your support!

Wow! Nice build. Lucky recipient. Could a luthier flip over the tin can in construction to have a removable back?

[@stevesstrings5243]

Definitely! The nice thing about that is that you can store things inside the tin. The top and bottom have different sounds so that is one thing to consider in your decision on which side to use. This is a link to the first one I built using the bottom of the tin as the soundboard. th-cam.com/video/PvQYqw9HCno/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hjLkUSdYVP4-3jq0 Thanks for watching and commenting!
