The Mugshot Canjo (can banjo)

To hear this banjo and see a little video tour click HERE.

 

The Mugshot Canjo (can banjo) is made from an acetone can striped of its paint and repainted to hold the images of Australian Mugshots from the 1920s. I am not a Kentucky native but after living in Kentucky for the last 11 years I have come to call it home. I thought it was a good idea to learn at least a few tunes on the banjo. So I had to make one to learn on.

Project Details

This was the first banjo I ever made. I am not a Kentucky native but after living in Kentucky since 2006 I have come to call it home. I thought it was a good idea to learn at least a few tunes on the banjo, as old time music is a part of the rich history of this area. In order to do so, I had to make one to learn on. The Mugshot Canjo (can/banjo) is made from an acetone can. I stripped of its paint and repainted it to hold the images of Australian mugshots from the 1920s.
