John, I'm glad to have you for a nation friend. I checked out your page and photos. You are a prolific builder and promoters of canjos. God bless you for playing for those sick kids.
hey sir canjoe john,i thought you might get a kick out of the kodak film canister build,,,,,, it only took an hour to get strings on it,but i still have more werk to do to get it looking better. it most certainly is loud and i haven't even put sound holes in it. thanks fer your comments and your interest in my work brother. by the way you can get those film canisters on e-bay fer less than 10 bucks including shipping. they are 10 or 11 inches in diameter. take care canjoe john and i,ll talk with ya mo laters sir.
Hello, I want to build a CanJoe inspired instrument with possibly 2 necks out of a mini keg beer can. It seems like you are the man to ask for advice on a build like that. I am not fishing for any trade secrets just some helpful/cautionary info. Thanks-colin
My pleasure. Who doesn't like something basic but well done. A good cup of Joe...a piece of a apple pie. It don't need to be fancy to be real satifying. Keep em coming. Enjoy.
Hey John good memory, I bought that a couple of years ago I believe. Since then I bought a stummer from tinyguitars like a strumstick but bigger.
Roger
you inspired me to make a crossbreed canjo man. the cans do get vibration from the bridge cause the bridge touches each can so it has good tone but not a whole lot of volume. so i established a piezo under the bridge to be able to amp the canjo and it has great tone thru an amp. and the small sound box is astethetic only fer appearance. thanks fer the inspiration canjoe john.
Welcome John ... Great to see you here I,ve visited your web site many times ... Lots of great people here , .. as you'll soon see . BTW ,Love what you do with the kids , I know thats got to be rewarding and a blessing .. Good luck and God Bless..
