An in-depth critique of my 1st canjo build! Learn from my mistakes!

This video is a self-critique of my 5th instrument build. In this case, it was a dulcimer-fretted cookie tin canjo! It was also my first fretted instrument.

Great idea for a video. I sold some of my early CBGs and now I'm mortified that somebody owns them. LOL. We learn something with each build. It's good to hear you critiquing all the things you think you did wrong but honestly, for a fifth build... it's pretty darn good. You obviously have a knack for building these babies.

Thanks, Kale. You are too kind!

My changes over time in these are similar to what you do now! Live and learn! Love your videos, Steve. I like .Del too.

Thanks, Sue! Glad you like them! I the the builds of yours that I have seen as well!

Thanks! I appreciate it! I'm sure you noticed I included the posters for the upcoming SW CBG festival! We need to get the word out! Thanks again!

I saw this earlier today on Del's channel. I know I'm not sending him one of my first builds! I am hoping to send him a tin banjo of my own design soon. That will incorporate lessons I've already learned on my own, plus what I've picked up watching builders like you and Del.
