I recently made this cookie tin banjo and I am amazed by how good it plays and sounds. It's literally just a cookie tin and a plank of oak. I made a few subtle mods to it but overall... it's really great. If you're a DIY'er, be sure to make one of your own.

Thanks t-belly and James O. I really like the sound of this little baby. Unexpectedly great.
Great sound
Sounds good Kale nice little Banjo.
Thanks Doug and AGP. It really does sound good. I'm not sure why I didn't build one sooner but I'm glad I documented it so someone else can try.
Cool mods Kale! Simple instruments are fun. Slide on … !
Not an unexpected surprise for me Poorness, as stated in a previous Video, I have around 30 of them, and that's not including the many Olive Oil & Motor Oil Can Builds I've done and can confidently say that there isn't one that I don't like, I like the use of the Rivet String Ferrules, I've used them on nearly all my through Neck Builds, also agree with the use of the piece of cardboard under the Lid, a lot of my Biscuit Tins have a piece of Laminated Plywood under the Lid, and I have some where I've lined the whole Tin with Plywood, which gives some of the Tin Builds a whole new type of sound. :-)
