When Herschel Brown created his first one-stringed musical instrument over 20 years ago, and that he also named as “canjoe”, he made it from a 1″ x 1″ straight stick of relatively unaltered pine wood. He initially nailed the can down to the wood with just one small brad nail and other than him accurately fretting the wood using real fret wire, the only alterations to the newly created finger board design was the two holes he drilled into the instrument’s head for the tuner key and the small piece of wood that he glued to the finger board as the instrument ‘nut’. Over the many years, since, Herschel’s original prototype design has undergone improvements, but even his very first design of his creation provided a product that is of much better quality than most of what is now being made by others who are also calling their concepts “canjo” or “canjoe”, and of which are now showing up in the market place.
The CanJoe Company of Blountville, TN began with Herschel Brown’s direct assistance, support, and his supplying of materials. At first, there was little difference between what Herschel made and the products sold by the CanJoe Company, but over time, due the consumers desires for even higher quality and more detailed designs, significant improvements have occured in the products. Herschel maintained providing his simpler designed unfinished pine wood only products for the remainder of his life. He did adapt two major improvements to his line that actually were changes original to the CanJoe Company versions; the modified angle cut at the tail piece to accommodate the can and the metal screw used as the instrument nut. These earliest design improvements, Herschel quickly recognized and adapted them to his versions. Herschel Brown and I remained close friends over the years up until his death in 2007 and we often collaborated on instrument design improvements.
For the first several years in business, the CanJoe Company also used pine wood only, just like Herschel, but consumers, early on, began requesting other materials such as hard woods and even exotic woods. Special and specific cans were also frequently requested and, so, the CanJoe Company supplied these demands by offering and making instruments made of these materials; select woods and special cans.
