has any one built a one string bass canjo?
I've got a couple of strings left over from my last build namely 4th ans 1st.
the 4th being the heaviest.
I've looked on youtube but can't find any thing other a banjo type canjo and yuke..
also I've just binned about 7 E strings but still have a couple left as well as about 3 E strings(6th)
on another note ...
I want to make a heart guitar for my wife with just one string.,so what string would be best?
plenty of hearts in here..

HA! As far as which string for a One string guitar... (Diddley bow) . . .
My pick would be a "A" String from a 6-string set tuned to "G"... but . . . pick a string that "Sounds good" to you... there are no rules, barely any guidelines...
Heck the regular g string would be good... just don't tell your wife what you gave her...
here is my 1st canjo,made from scrap parts inc the the skull tuner.
the skull tune had a hollow nut missing so I use a washer as a support.
the rest was scrap material inc string as I would've binned that.
painted frets.
sound loud enough for me to hear.
tried heavier strings but sounded dull.
anyway here it is
