Gitty, along with two picks and a spare string! Also be sure to check out the Canjo Song Tablature section of the knowledgebase over at www.CigarBoxGuitar.com for an ever-growing list of popular and traditional songs you can play on these instruments! This instrument is fretted diatonically (like a dulcimer), which means that all of the "in between" notes are left out - so it is almost impossible to hit a "wrong" note on it

It puts out a great twangy sound, perfect for practicing or back porch pickin'

These canjo kits feature handmade hardwood necks with nickel-silver frets

Once built, the instrumetn is strung with an unwound plain steel string of .012" gauge tuned to either high C or D
