That's a fascinating instrument and nicely played. I can imagine that the cutout and spikes were a challenge !

Took a look at the pic of your frayling box after listening to this clip 3 times. I have been thinking of getting a banjo kit but now, I have more ideas. Thanks Don looks & sounds great and very well played.

Think I just had me a, "I have to build me one of those"  moment.  That sounded great Don.

Thanks, John. Yeah, had to research the Frayling bit. The Frayling style of playing requires a scooped out area a where the neck meets the body. The lady who commissioned it also wanted railroad spikes for capoing the fifth string so it was a bit of a design challenge for me.

Sounds old timey great.  Tone, playing and singing.  What do you mean by a frayling neck?
