It’s been quite a while since I’ve used a urinal, but that thing looks… dangerous. It’s probably best to lean back.
(Well, in truth, women’s restrooms do have urinals, but I’ve discovered it’s taboo to use them for some reason. It’s just as well, though. They’re kind of high up and have funny hot-and-cold flush options on them. And then there are those cute little mailboxes that smell bad, but they never seem to collect my postcards.)
I used to be a banjo fan, a banjo fan, a banjo fan
but this banjo sounds like shit, ol’ man, shit, ol’ man, shit, ol’ man
I’d play that banjo carefully, carefully, carefully
cause, once, it was filled up with pee, up with pee, up with pee.
I’ll yodel, whistle, clap my hands, clap my hands, clap my hands,
cause I’m a bluegrass banjo man, banjo man, banjo man,
I’ll even sing a song to you, song to you, song to you,
and play my banjo… pickin’ poo, pickin’ poo, pickin’ poo.
-What’s That Smell? (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
-Brown Eyed Girl (Van Morrison)
-Smokin’ in the Boy’s Room (Brownsville Station)
-Gotta Go My Own Way (Vanessa Hudgens)
-Number Two (My Chemical Romance)
At least, in terms of a quality musical instrument, this is a upgrade over their previous attempt — a flute made from an old mercury based rectal-thermometer.
I love bluegrass and can imagine appropriate mournful vocalisation, However, if I picture someone playing it, for some reason I can only see Barry White.
My husband makes cigar box guitars, and guitars, banjos, etc. out of other found or recycled materials, and I have to say, this guy is doing some really stellar work. I bet you would get an amazing sound off of a bed pan, and it looks to be very well-made. I’m impressed.

LET’S PLAY THAT SHIT!
January 10, 2013 at 11:30 am
Any music created with this will be soundly panned by critics.
January 10, 2013 at 12:28 pm
Whatever, just head over to Europe. This thing could become an incontinent sensation.
January 11, 2013 at 9:14 am
Urine to banjo music?
January 10, 2013 at 9:57 pm
Just make sure you tune it with wire cutters first..
January 10, 2013 at 10:03 am
This listing just reeks of the seller’s self-congratulations at having coined the term “Panjo”.
January 10, 2013 at 10:15 am
Strange medium but I like it! http://youtu.be/NlmyrqOGUbs
January 10, 2013 at 10:53 am
I think it’s awesome.
I’ll bet it has a really interesting sound, somewhere between Muddy Waters and Korn.
January 11, 2013 at 6:53 pm
I would like to hear it played. I don’t want to touch it, but I would listen.
January 10, 2013 at 11:07 am
Me too, no kidding. If he could build me a bass, be a lot lighter. No snark — want one too badly and don’t want to get on his… shit list. Awww…
January 10, 2013 at 11:09 am
Yeah, I actually do think it’s pretty cool.
I’ll bet it can hit the elusive “brown note”, too.
January 10, 2013 at 11:47 am
I kind of like the sound it gets. Just don’t want to think about what it used to be for.
January 10, 2013 at 2:51 pm
Unfortunately, the bass version is VERY heavy, and you have to slap it really hard to get a nice sound out of it.
January 10, 2013 at 3:02 pm
Thankfully that’s a Standup Bass.

Amazing, thanks! What it lacks in portability it makes up for in class. Urinal my good thoughts, Maman B.

Thanks for posting the link.
January 10, 2013 at 10:17 am
Let’s see if this can win in duel with my dookulele.
January 10, 2013 at 10:24 am
With accompaniment on the poohba and the shitsophone.
January 10, 2013 at 10:36 am
don’t forget the poohte and the peekolo.
January 10, 2013 at 10:44 am
All we need is someone to do a scat solo.
January 10, 2013 at 10:58 am
He is quite an accomplished Loo-thier. But that doesn’t mean he can play.
January 10, 2013 at 11:44 am
Wonder if he makes a vile -o – lin.
January 10, 2013 at 12:32 pm
I call my re-purposed catheter a “Peni Whistle”.
January 10, 2013 at 11:49 am
Or my Pouzaphone.
January 10, 2013 at 10:30 am
Now when I think of “Deliverance”, I can be even more disturbed.
January 10, 2013 at 12:23 pm
SQUEAL!!!!!!!!!!
January 10, 2013 at 12:40 pm
you got a pretty little potty mouth over there, boy.
January 10, 2013 at 10:32 am

January 10, 2013 at 10:46 am
there’s even brown stains in there.. *shudder* gives pickin’ and a grinnin’ a whole new meaning.
January 10, 2013 at 11:07 am
If you order now, it comes chock-full of Hershey’s Kisses!
January 10, 2013 at 10:49 am
This takes upcycling to another level. One I didn’t want to know existed.
January 10, 2013 at 11:03 am
Next in the collection: septic tank grand peeano.
January 10, 2013 at 11:03 am
Think of all the hits you could play on that!
-What’s That Smell? (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
-Brown Eyed Girl (Van Morrison)
-Smokin’ in the Boy’s Room (Brownsville Station)
-Gotta Go My Own Way (Vanessa Hudgens)
-Number Two (My Chemical Romance)
January 10, 2013 at 11:47 am
-Not forgetting Slash and Burn, by the Manics, for all of those of you with cystitis! ..And possibly 16 tons for those of you with other problems.
January 10, 2013 at 11:48 am
..Or is having a slash only UK slang?
January 10, 2013 at 12:06 pm
Yup. We don’t use that term in the U.S.- what does it mean?
January 10, 2013 at 12:38 pm
going for a slash means having a wee; I don’t know why.
January 10, 2013 at 12:33 pm
Does it involve guns and/or roses?
January 10, 2013 at 12:39 pm
He might not have picked that name in the UK, let’ say.
January 10, 2013 at 11:16 am
At last. A banjo my bajingo can get behind.
January 10, 2013 at 11:21 am
I would’ve gone with “Banjoloo” rather than “Panjo”, but I guess it wasn’t up to me.
I’ll bet you can play some steaming-hot leads on that thing- you know, put some stank on it.
January 10, 2013 at 11:28 am
At least, in terms of a quality musical instrument, this is a upgrade over their previous attempt — a flute made from an old mercury based rectal-thermometer.

Toxic inside and out.

January 10, 2013 at 11:58 am
That banjo is the shit!
January 10, 2013 at 12:24 pm
Vintage, aka Used, aka SHAT UPON!!!!!!!!!!
January 10, 2013 at 12:29 pm
I always enjoy seeing/hearing people use the past tense of “shit”.
January 11, 2013 at 12:10 am
Alas, I hath shat mine own true self…

January 11, 2013 at 3:37 am
But why can’t it be a NEW bed pan???
January 10, 2013 at 12:36 pm
And here I’ve been trying to convert my old bagpipes into a hookah – it’s time to turn this bus around!
January 10, 2013 at 12:42 pm
Useless* fact of the day: The Japanese word for toilet is “benjo”.
*Not useless if you are in Japan and gotta go.
January 10, 2013 at 1:31 pm
Saves you some embarrassing mimeing, if that’s not a tautology!
January 10, 2013 at 3:07 pm
The Japanese mime for going to the bathroom is squatting and that would be a little too realistic if you were truly desperate.

I knew a dude who took a dump in his acoustic guitar one time when he was drunk, but that somehow lacked the charm of this piece.
January 10, 2013 at 3:31 pm
I disagree.
January 10, 2013 at 3:39 pm
Bela Fleck can play his three-movement banjo concerto in style:

Sitting on a stool no doubt.
January 10, 2013 at 4:56 pm
Need something for the guitarist who already has everything?
Urine luck.
January 10, 2013 at 8:58 pm
You could accompany this by tinkling the ivories.
January 10, 2013 at 9:04 pm
A Bedpan Banjo. For when you pull that next song out of your ass, and you know it’s going to be really shitty.
