Biscuit tin guitar

[yorkshireman]

I’m back tinkering in the garage. Knocked out a biscuit tin guitar. I can’t play it I just thought I’d see if I could make one. It makes a sound now I need to find someone to tune and evaluate it.

 

[Pierre]

I suppose it sounds a bit tinny.

 

[Penpal]

Unusual to nice to dip have fun playing Keith.

Start a band,," Keith and the Penturners."

 

[flexi]

Well that takes the biscuit!

Really good idea....I like it a lot.

 

[fortress]

What about an old Quality Street tin Banjo Keith?

 

[Themackay]

Thats different Keith do you add and remove biscuits to get the sound you want lol

 

[yorkshireman]

I had to eat all the biscuits first Alan. It’s a case of suffering for your art.

Get a app called Fender tune.

Pick Open G and then pluck and tune GDG. I have a cigar box 3 string and I can't play a thing but it sounds nice.

 

[yorkshireman]

I’ll have a look at fender tune Paul thanks. I can’t play a note but I was advised to tune it to GDG which is the intention. I was originally going to make it a cigar box guitar but in the absence of having a suitable box the biscuit tin had to be used.

very nice but the neck should have been in the shape of a pen

 

[Bill Mooney]

Keith it looks good & probably sounds good too
