Hey cool. It sounds really good. I made one with almost the same tambourine as have. But after an hour part of the skin tore partly through the pins and the skin isn't stiff anymore. Was a cheap 10$ tambourine from ebay with natural skin. Same design as yours. So I replaced the tambourine with a tunable tambourine with a metal-ring holding the skin in place. My problem now is tuning this thing. I started tuning but the bridge pushes into the skin pretty heavy. Also it's hard to tune all strings because of the bridge pushing in the skin. I want to tune to DGBE. Chicago tuning. Specs are: 4 strings, 19 frets, 25inch scale, 10inch Sonor CGTT10P tambourine. I use Deering Tenor strings medium. 0.010, 0.016, 0.024, 0.030. Any advice on how to tune it? Is it normal that the skin pushes in to much?
I'm looking to do the same thing. I have an old tambourine that I want to turn into a banjo. Did you follow any particular guides when making this? Also, what song are you playing?
No I didn't follow any particular plans. I'd made a few cigar box guitars previously which were made in a pretty standard design. I just adapted the design to use a tamborine instead of a box. There's loads of videos on youtube and info at cigarboxnation.com on how to build these sorts of things. The tune is an "original" one but i ripped off the basic idea from a range of different places. There's a bit of cripple creek in there in think!
Though I wrote this comment four years ago, you somehow responded the very week I bought my own banjo. Crazy how the universe works, huh? (And thank you for rhe information)

That's one of the most beautiful sounding instruments I've ever heard
This is great man! I'd love to see in detail how it was constructed. Also, love the way you play .
nice
Man, what a great sound! Nicely done mate!

What size tambourine is this? Amazing work by the way! Did you make the neck too?
10 inches I think, cuz I have a tambourine that seemed to be the same size as that one from the video.

How do u stop bridge from breaking drum skin
Use a tambourine with a synthetic head
how'd you make it?
what song is this? did you write it? it sounds amazing!
He said in a different comment that he did compose it himself, but it draws on a bunch of different tunes he already knows.
