Rubber Chicken Scale Canjo Ukulele

Rubber Chicken Scale Canjo Ukulele

Made from a nice Colman's Mustard Club lunchbox, this is a sweet sounding, electro-acoustic ukulele canjo, whuch I have put classical guitar strings on. Tuned GDAE (low to high), but that may change.  Oak neck, mahogany fingerboard, 14 brass frets, piezo pick up, bone nut, key bridge, gold dot markers, chrome tuners.

The RUBBACHICKITARTAR

Back in August, Antony at SHonKy Musical Instruments

 - www.shonkymusicalinstruments.co.uk -

held a competition to design a guitar: - I sent him the following picture:

To my amazement, it made it to the final five entries, and following a public vote, it won!

Antony set to work building an electric, tenor RUBBACHICKITARTAR, and created a masterpiece:

It sounds fantastic, and I will be playing it with Colonel Mustard & The Dijon 5 at The famous Glasgow Barrowlands on December 13th

Antony is a real artist, and his guitars are brilliant. Please check out his site.

Electric washboard

A Washboard with a piezo pick-up and a jack located in a tobacco tin. Horn and chicken optional !

Old Washboards can be found online, or in junk shops. The 'board' tends to be glass or metal, and can be played with thimbles, banjo picks, drumsticks or brushes. I attached a piezo pickup (cost £1.09) to this one, and installed a mono guitar socket (£1.49 - Maplins Store) in an oldtobacco tin. The whole mechanism is easily removed, and trfansferred to another instrument, if required.
