On this page we will be publishing recorded music to demonstrate our instruments within a quality audio capture.

We start with an instrumental rendition of “Out of the Black” by the magnificent Royal Blood, played on our 3-string license plate resonator in the key of F.

Below is our radio interview given at the Paddle Round The Pier Beach Festival, featuring a short snippet of both our 2-string fretless canjo and 3-string pencil case strumstick.

For a fuller demonstration of the musical capabilities and range of our 3-string pencil case strumstick here is a rough-and-ready rendition of Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl” recorded at the facilities of Northbrook MET.

But what would an “orchestra” of our pencil case strumsticks sound like? Here is a “string quintet” arrangement of the song Disarm by The Smashing Pumpkins, featuring only our easy-to-play, 3 nylon string, 7 fret instrument design in a 5-piece ensemble.

This is how our 3-string license plate resonator guitars can sound in a live band setting (and with a cleaner tone to the demonstration of the same instrument at the top of this page).

Jamming on a version of Chicken Coop Blues by Mike Snowden, this session was recorded with the students and staff of Northbrook Metropolitan College at their excellent multi-million complex.

(Listen carefully and you will catch our popular fretless slide canjo in the background)
