Thanks Ambrose. This little banjo gave me an unexpected boost in learning. It’s ease of play and quiet charm were the lift. I liked hearing Jim Morris play with Nyguts on a banjo and it lured me to try it.
I have an old (aren't they all old?) banjolele that was given to me as a project, which I fixed up a couple years ago and put nylgut strings on. Have been plunking on it the past few nights.
Yup nylons Derek. First time I tryed nylon strings on a banjo. I love hearing Jim Morris’ gut string banjos. They are mellow and I find mine is very easy to finger. It’s like playing rubber band strings. You can play a bit out of tune if you try and clamp down like you do with steel strings. Ukuleles are easy to finger too. I have several banjoleles. They all have steel strings. Maybe I’ll try one of those with nylons. I’m sure I’ll look lovely. ;*)
Well this went purrfect with my coffee Dave...real nice sounding like the boogie woogie maybe It will give me some energy er maybe not lol....Meeowww^..^

It's got lovey tone and depth either plugged in or acoustic... nice playing too!
Wonderful Derek. I like those banjoleles. I gotta try Nyguts on one.

Thanks JD. Thanks Andries, AGP, Unc, Kale and Pick. I like to shuffle off to Banjello.

Is that a coco cat Nancy? I’ve never seen a cat relax in coco.. :*) ... they usually struggle and claw you to get out.
Good and mellow sounding banjer, Dave. Sounds like nylon strings?
