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.

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?
