Cigar, box, kid, crazy, old

This is the other side to cbg latin lessons. The banjo uses a pine neck (I had a lot of pressure treated sitting around) with a walnut fretboard. No frets and uses a tamborene for the skin..

Thanks Herb. I kind of despise Scruggs style banjo, but I like old tiney stuff like you are doing.

The strings are a plastic nylagut. trying to be mid 19th century correct...

You look familiar. Were you one of the Soggy Bottom Boys?

That turned out pretty good. With the fretless neck, what did you use as strings?
