I've been fretting for some time about how to make a gig bag for the tin-can cello -- then somebody on the FB Vintage Musical Instrument Cases group pointed out that I could just cut a hole in the back of a regular cello gig bag and sew an extension in to it. Great idea! I've ordered a cheap bag from Musician's Friend... Here's how I'm carrying it around currently, without a bag:

Following in the footsteps of Stefano Matteucci, a violin could be made using a small bodhrán for a body. Possibly tuned in a higher register than a violin, like an octave up from viola. You would want to minimize the angle of the strings crossing the bridge, to save undue pressure on the drum skin.

I'm getting to where there are songs I'm confident about playing. I want to start building a songbook. I want to play some songs at open mics. Once it gets warm out, I want to start busking. I want to play Maplewood Porchfest this summer.
Songbook (work perpetually in progress)

"Like the reverend King, our Leader Trump has a dream... that one day, in the red hills of Arizona, the sons of former migrant workers and the sons of former ICE agents will be reduced to bartering scraps from the remnants of our civilisation... that one day his 5 little children will have no need to worry about the chaos of society crumbling around them, having retained an army of private goons to protect them..."

The tin-can cello had its first time up on stage last night, when I took it to Brooklyn Raga Massive's weekly concert and open jam at Jalopy in Red Hook.
The concert was an album release party for cellist George Crotty. Great, I'm looking forward to hearing more of his music. The open jam was all I'd been hoping for -- I've been meaning to get to this weekly happening for a long time. Definitely going back.

I had a treat today when Alessandra came over to play a classical piece on the tin-can cello.
