Just finished up teaching a class at a local family camp. The picture is two of the students with finished banjos. We had about ten total over the three days of camp.

I did some prep work ahead of time. Some made a simple 2-string “strum stick” some made 5-string banjos, some strung them as ukes. They are rough and ready, but playable.

Students were ages 8-50. I was pleased to hear the comment of “that’s all there is to building an instrument?” I remember thinking it was magic, and I’d never learn how to do it. Everyone in the class recovered satisfyingly from mistakes. A great time

That sounds like an awesome time! What kind of cookie tins were used?

A variety of tins. Many were Danish butter cookies. This took place at family camp associated with the West Denmark Lutheran church, so the Danish cookies were not an accident.

Great job! I love seeing stuff like this!
