  • Jeff, any updated pictures of the banjo?

  • Thanks AGP. Over here it would be hard to say what part of those roo-hide banjos would be more of a novelty--the cigar box pot or the kangaroo head. I'm really looking forward to hearing how that one comes out.

    With any luck, Jeff and I may get this one finished in two or three days. I'll let you know how it works...

     

  • I've done a couple roo hide banjos...
  • Looks good, I am planning on doing something similar to a CBG with kangaroo hide, be interesting to hear how it sounds.

  • Thanks, John, that's what I'm hoping too. I've seen a few of Jim's videos with really nice banjo heads made from bottles I think, but I didn't know he had clips on how to make them. That would be useful to watch for sure. 

  • Hope it plays as well as it looks.  Have you seen Jim Morris's vids on making banjo heads?

  • Thanks, I'm excited to see how it's turning out.
