Oh god, not the double period! I guess it makes up for the lack of punctuation elsewhere.
Anyone else kind of think the canjo rocks?
I swear I thought this was a horrible lie… not an actual “instrument”. I learned about a lot more about oddity than I needed on youTube with the “canjo” search. Yikes.
He did have two when i sent it in. One was an Elmo tin can. My fav is the fucking materials- John and i pissed ourselves over the staples. Also the nec- never met a Rednec like Canjo Joe- I LIKE HIM !!!!!! I think we need a Canjo Contest- who can make the best Canjo? The Psych Ward shirt IS a nice touch
Come listen to a story bout a gal named Hel
Snarking alone is not so very swell
One day she could take no more of Etsy –
So she got a computer and started up Regretsy.
Blog, that is. Pure snark. No mercy.
Well, the next thing you know, ol’ Hel’s a thousandaire
When editors said, “We see a book in there.
In the New York Times is the place you ought to be.”
But she said, “Not if it means I can’t mock Wilford Brimley.”
I am in LOVE with the handles on this. So- well- handy. The fact that he taped his tune in a hoarded home just makes this guy better. Canjo Jo, if I had a neighbor like you- I’d never leave.
Fun fact: the banjo was the first unique instrument made in America. (I guess the canjo is like the 370th or something and the more youtube I watch, the more I want one.)
This makes me want to pull out the rocking chair, sit on the porch with a gallon of sweet tea, strum my canjo and listen to my Red and Black garbage regurgi-cycled wind chimes rattling in the warm breeze.
#24 elephant grenade : THAT… is fucking perfect. However i am going to need the full effect- could you canjo up something and upload that shit up to You Tube.
It’s real cutie. It’s made of a polpourri tin can. It has plastic gems embedded in the nec. It has clear disregard for spell check. Do I smell a Regretsy Whimsicle Fuckery Hoe Down?
Hey, it still plays better than the “Banjolin”… something I had to suffer with to get my bass player into my band. In his “experimental band”, the banjolin player played a banjo with a violin bow. I called it “the incredible feedback machine”. Every time he played the thing, I backed up off my vocal mic, thinking it was feeding back.
Wow this makes me re-think my retirement plan of learning to play the entire Ramones catalogue on the accordian, now I think I will take up the canjo in my golden years
I’m confused, they took down all their canjos? Why?
They were filed in whimsical fuckery-and most of us were kinda getting into them too-guess Joe and Sandy don’t get it lots of potential buyers for whimsical fuckery here on regretsy!
Geez, they were barely even getting snarked at! They were basically getting a dose of rare and wondrous Regretsy love. Sure, it’s a twisted and unhealthy love, but love nonetheless! And I seriously wanted to buy one for my mom.
This is where the future of pulling funding for music education in public schools will lead us, because the only way kids will be able to make music is to build their own instruments from instructions on YouTube.
Honestly, I think it’s a pretty rad example of good old Cracker ingenuity at work. Even if civilization collapses around us, we will always find a way to make music, even if we have to use the garbage.
Oops. It seems I have temporarily crossed over to the dark side. We own a canjo. My brother made it at a music festival, years and years ago. Yes, they actually work.
I want one! I searched around on youtube and there’s an old paratrooper who describes how to make one in his comments section. It looks pretty simple, except for the tuning part- and I have a tuner… may have to give it a try when I get done with home repairs/associated drama.
OK, I kinda love the canjo. And more than that, the whole “make your own instrument out of junk” ethos. How do y’all think poor folks managed to make music, back in the day? It’s pretty dang clever to take a can, a stick, and a piece of string and make real, verifiable melodies with it. Probaly pretty much how things like the piano, the guitar and the drums got started, way back when.
I am looking for an easy instrument to learn and master because I am bored at weekend! I just want a cheap instrument and yeah I found a Canjo. It’s quite challenging when it comes to building the stuff, never raised up in a very mechanical environment, but honestly I’m having fun and I think I’m getting a little better with practice.
One thing I love about Canjo is hearing it played chill. People put way too much emphasis on fast trailing or whatever. Its sound is great!
A Canjo is a musical instrument that anyone can play. It is so simple you will be playing your first song as soon as you open the song book. I think this is the homemade and very inexpensive version of the banjo. This year school summer vacation, what did I do? I build Canjo for my kids. They sound pretty nice. The cans have some decent resonation. Mine is not yet finished. I have an empty pork n’ beans can that I haven’t trashed yet. I wonder if I can use it. What do you think? Ha-ha
Yes, the Canjo is a great way to get your kids interested in music – tiny investment and a lot of fun. For example, most young kids would rather bang on a garbage can for drums instead of the real thing. A Canjo is the same idea.
Seriously, I don’t get why you are mocking this canjo. I think it’s very innovative; making use of recycled materials to produce a musical instrument is quite ingenius. Great job to the inventor of this item.
March 29, 2010 at 1:54 pm
love the bright orange psych ward canjo joe is wearing.
March 29, 2010 at 1:54 pm
*psych ward shirt
oops
March 29, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Oh my god, is there ACTUALLY a whole subculture of canjo enthusiasts? Youtube leads me to think so.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have officially reached the end of the internet.
March 29, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Paddle faster!
March 29, 2010 at 1:57 pm
I’ll take the pressed tin pulperie can’t jo instead.
March 29, 2010 at 1:58 pm
I’m intrigued. Does the Canjo Songbook feature any Beatles hits?
October 13, 2011 at 8:30 am
haha..yeah i also want to know if they play beatles or even bee gees.
March 29, 2010 at 1:59 pm
OMG. This poor can banjo dude is going to shit a brick when he checks his video views after all of us get through with this… Awesome!

Indeed. The canjo does rock.
March 29, 2010 at 2:07 pm
It looks like a giant pepper shaker.
March 29, 2010 at 2:07 pm
The finest materials they could find are an old broom handle and a rusty tin? Someone needs to start looking OUTSIDE the city dump.
March 29, 2010 at 2:08 pm
What good is one canjo? We need two to duel!

I think the canjo is pretty cool.
March 29, 2010 at 2:19 pm
I had no idea these things even existed!
March 29, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Damn it- why did they take them down? Who told them? I seriassly want one of these. This would be a bucket of fun in the studio
March 29, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Which ward is he in? I want to know if my insurance will cover my stay. Is the canjo included?
March 29, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Canjo JO- I hope you are out getting supplies and making us some of these as we seriassly not only want ‘em- we need em.
March 29, 2010 at 2:25 pm

Ned Beatty!……come on down and visit the funky swamp brothers.
For that kind of money I liked the sound.
March 29, 2010 at 3:46 pm
If it wasn’t for the youtube clip, I would have no idea what the fuck this was.
March 29, 2010 at 3:46 pm
I’m confused, they took down all their canjos? Why?
They were filed in whimsical fuckery-and most of us were kinda getting into them too-guess Joe and Sandy don’t get it lots of potential buyers for whimsical fuckery here on regretsy!
March 29, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Oh yeah and we were gonig to try and hook them up with the uniporn bag guy too
March 29, 2010 at 3:59 pm
SuperSnark,
My guess is – we offend them.
March 29, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Geez, they were barely even getting snarked at! They were basically getting a dose of rare and wondrous Regretsy love. Sure, it’s a twisted and unhealthy love, but love nonetheless! And I seriously wanted to buy one for my mom.
March 29, 2010 at 4:05 pm
kittyofassisi: sadly you are right, never take yourself too seriously-especially if you make canjos!
March 29, 2010 at 4:05 pm
hmmm too bad. I bet they would’ve gotten some sales from here too.
it’s definitely not the worst thing I’ve seen.
March 29, 2010 at 4:11 pm
Best not to overreact–what they say about publicity is true.
March 29, 2010 at 4:24 pm
I’m sorry, but I love me some Canjo music. Did you sample some of the other can/stick instruments on Youtube? This is really folk music.
March 29, 2010 at 4:24 pm
I have to applaude Canjo Joe – a regular banjo is hard enough to play, I can’t imagine making one that’s made with no real specs sound that good!
March 29, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Wherefore art thou canjo? I miss thee already!
March 29, 2010 at 4:26 pm
There’s something terribly sweet about this shop, too bad they removed the canjo.Would have made a cool trio with a kazoo & a thumb piano.
March 29, 2010 at 4:45 pm
They sold a baked beans canjo! I wonder if they ever made a spam-jo?
March 29, 2010 at 4:53 pm
It even has Santa Claus on the side of the tin.
Really cutie!
I know these are in the dollar store, handles & all.
Just the can, not the jo.
March 29, 2010 at 4:54 pm
This is a scream…I love it.
March 29, 2010 at 5:02 pm
I woulda bought one. *pouts*
March 29, 2010 at 5:37 pm
I wouldn’t have thought anyone who wears a “psych ward” t-shirt and plays a damn canjo would be so sensitive.

March 30, 2010 at 6:51 am
canjos are actually pretty awesome. I like a musical instrument that you don’t have to take too seriously
March 30, 2010 at 7:19 am

Hey, McKnickers–plenty of legendary blues musicians started out playing wires tacked to boards, or cigar-box guitars.
March 30, 2010 at 10:39 am
oh please, someone please open an all canjo shop? soon. i now have the canjo blues.

I am looking for an easy instrument to learn and master because I am bored at weekend! I just want a cheap instrument and yeah I found a Canjo. It’s quite challenging when it comes to building the stuff, never raised up in a very mechanical environment, but honestly I’m having fun and I think I’m getting a little better with practice.
One thing I love about Canjo is hearing it played chill. People put way too much emphasis on fast trailing or whatever. Its sound is great!

A Canjo is a musical instrument that anyone can play. It is so simple you will be playing your first song as soon as you open the song book. I think this is the homemade and very inexpensive version of the banjo. This year school summer vacation, what did I do? I build Canjo for my kids. They sound pretty nice. The cans have some decent resonation. Mine is not yet finished. I have an empty pork n’ beans can that I haven’t trashed yet. I wonder if I can use it. What do you think? Ha-ha

Yes, the Canjo is a great way to get your kids interested in music – tiny investment and a lot of fun. For example, most young kids would rather bang on a garbage can for drums instead of the real thing. A Canjo is the same idea.

Seriously, I don’t get why you are mocking this canjo. I think it’s very innovative; making use of recycled materials to produce a musical instrument is quite ingenius. Great job to the inventor of this item.
