    Great video. I enjoy having no background music. I like the ambient shop sounds.

    I am always bit sceptical when I see you building an instrument, but in the end, when I see you playing it I am completely melting. This is so cool, I really want to build and an instrument myself now. Thank you for the inspiration!
  • @alanm3438
    With only two strings you gave that thing life. I do not know how to play any musical instrument. I am just amazed by what you can do to build and play music. No amp or pickup and it sounds great.

    You hand made a "panjo" then played it........I can't even play a radio. Great job.
  • The work you do and are still doing is priceless ! Thank you and never stop giving!! I see that your heart is in what you do !!
  • @sgsax
    Another fine example of scrap wood luthierie. Thanks for the inspiration.
  • An inspiration for creativity.. I too have made instruments from essentially scrap! The idea is the thing that counts. There is a mini drum kit in my front room made from varying diameters and lengths of heavy duty cardboard carpet cores, wood glue, scraps of wood, plastic lid and recycled para cloth from the recycle shop! My kids couldn't stop playing them, all the uncles aunts cousins etc had a blast with them, they were painted with acrylic paints I had around, yes they got worn, but They were old carpet rolls and cost nothing? Literally nothing, just my time and scrap. Christmas 2013. Inscribed on those drums are the words "don't let money be the excuse to not invent" PANJO ! Brilliant...
