Ben commented on econnofoot's group Banjo Players Unite!"Jim - Frailing needs a high drone string which is absent on a 4-stringer (unless of course you make a drone and 3 full length).

Marmelade commented on econnofoot's group Banjo Players Unite!"Hi, here is my banjo finished, it's made out of a floor tom, a "14" one, large enough to have a really good resonance, too large to have this banjo special sound.
