I wanted to invite everyone to a page I've set up on the building of this: There's a lot of photos so it may load a bit slow if you're on dial up. To visit CLICK HERE. I don't really know how to play it yet, but that's what the EZFolk tutorials are for. Still I've posted a short clip of me faking it so the curious could here how it sounds:  play hi-bitrate (mp3) (broadband) play lo-bitrate (mp3) (dial up)Gerard

Gerald, What a great job you did on this project, You really put the time and energy into it, I started a cookie tin banjo one time and started the cutting on the tin and give it up because it was all warp out of shape and I junked it. It sounds good to and your playing sounds good also. Thanks for the lessons on how to builted a banjo Charlie

I really enjoyed the building page, and it sure sounds sweet! Thanks Gerard, someday, when I retire...that's the kind of project I'll be looking for. Very interesting design, especially the fine tuning tailpiece

Wow. Nice work on the banjo. And, thanks for putting together the page describing the process--much cooler than just a pic--we get to see the process. I have never seen anything made with kite string, PVC pipe, and a cookie tin that looked (and sounded) that good (okay, I have never seen anything made with kite string, PVC pipe, and a cookie tin--it is still great work though). Well done.

I built a deluxe cookie tin banjo too. I bought the frets, fretboard, tuners, and 8 inch drum head. The cookie tin can be seen in the 1st photo. It was a lot of fun to plan and build. Now all I need to do is learn how to play it. The EZ folk tutorials are great. Doug
