"Thanks JB, glad you like them. Steal away! :-) they look pretty cool but dont really stay in tune that well. you have to keep tightening the nuts so you need to keep a 13mm spanner on you. "

Same to you! I really like your builds. I'm just starting but I hope to get to that level one day. They're works of art!

Hi Johnny.

Thanks very much for leaving a comment on my video and for the friend request. While I think of it, may I invite you to join the London and nearby group. The idea is to compare notes on sources of materials as well as maybe arranging sharing lifts to events further north.

Thanks again.

John

Johnny -- My tackhead's holding up pretty well; neck's very straight, and the violin-style friction tuners work fine (well, as friction tuners go)... Humidity does indeed have a significant effect on the skin head, which is why I'd like to try a skin head w/ tension hoop and brackets like your grain measure banjo. When I get to it, I may have questions fer ya'...  Wish I had clawhammer skills like you!

 

Shoot me an e-mail at tktreadway@aol.com with an address, and I'll send you a copy of my little homebrew cd, free of charge.

Love your full of good art instruments and photos.  The syrup banjo is my fave.  Did you see my comment regarding you in Chickenbone's 6 string video?

Johnny, you fooled me big time.  I heard your great video of the Cuckoo and I really thought you were an Apalachian mountain boy.  I love the way you frail.
