    It's played by fretting. The tacks are quite high compared with most fret material, probably close to a 1/4 inch high.

    Greg - with the furniture tacks, is this typically played with a slide or by fretting?

    Thanks guys!
    Gary, canjos are a lot of fun to make. Definitely a must do.

    Nice one, Greg!  Very good look!  I think at least one canjo and a didley-bow are in my 2015 future!
