The tone on this banjo is remarkable... Deering should be phoning you for the secret.

😂wow you make great instruments and from simple. Materials that rival the best name brands. The intonation and playing and sustain were spot on.

@@MH-mx7hq Thanks! You could always start with a 1x2 board for a neck and not worry about tapering it. Drill some holes and attach tuning gears. Then attach it to a cookie tin or cigar box and you're good to go. Expect it to sound like what it is rather than wanting it to sound like a factory instrument. Here's an easy way to attach the neck kzitem.info/news/bejne/1nt8tJ2YaYGdmKw

Beautiful. Just wondering if you happened to find the perfect tambourine/cookie tin combination, or how did you alter it to work so well?
@morbanjo2503

Thanks. I have about 100 tins of all different sizes so I found one that was close to the size of this 10" tambo. It was a bit too big so I cut the bottom out with a stout razor knife leaving enough tin around the sides to make a tight fit. A few screws through the tin into the tambo body helped secure it.

Thank you. On this one I used a tambourine with the jangles removed. So the tambourine was already tensioned.

This one looks and sounds absolutely great, this is kinda unrelated but have you ever considered constructing an upright bass from an old barrel? I'm not sure how it'd work out but i'm sure it'd look great
