Canjo

A banjo? A metal can? Ok sure! A single string to inject seriously driving rhythmic movement into your next track.

Canjo

What is a Canjo, you ask? We weren’t really sure ourselves, but we did some “research” (we Googled it). We found a very rich tradition with this really fun DIY instrument…

From Henry Hoover’s dedicated Canjo website:
A Canjo is a single string musical instrument. It is held like a guitar but may also be played on a table or lap. The neck is made of furniture grade. kiln dried, hard wood that is hand rubbed with boiled linen seed oil. Its neck is fretted diatonically (like a dulcimer including a 6-1/2 fret) with twelve notes or finger positions.

We couldn’t imagine having more fun with a single string! The instrument includes an arpeggiator that will infuse driving rhythms into your music. So what are you waiting for? Grab this thing while it’s hot!

Standout Features

Multiple Articulations
Canjo was multi-sampled in 3 different styles for unique sound variations: Plucked (using a pick), Fingered (using the thumb instead of a pick), and Muted which offers a softer timbre.
Custom Arpeggiator
We’ve built a custom arpeggiation designer for creating interesting automated patterns with ease. Included are a bunch of preset arpeggiations to get you started, or you can create and save your own.
Wide Dynamic Range
Up to 5 real dynamic layers means you can go from gentle to harsh and lots in-between without noticeable “jumps” in velocity. The result is a much more a realistic and fun-to-play instrument.
