Concert has a slightly deeper sound. I think its because of the longer string length and the rosewood bridge.

This video just got featured on Boing Boing and got 6000 views in one day!
 
Very cool! Ever try making one out of a round Danish cookie tin?

IMHO ... anything I've built with those cookie tins don't have a very nice sound.

I wonder if it would sound better with a can from Hawaii. I guess using a Spam can would be appropriate
