Bamboo Steamer Banjo - Up on Flat Top Mtn

Calfskin head tacked on to a bamboo vegetable steamer with a walnut neck. I learned this tune from the wonderful playing of Al Petteway and Amy White.

Thanks Nancy! That tub would make an awesome giant banjo! But I'd have to wait until the tigers were done with it.

Thanks RTZ. The advance stages of this addiction make anything you see look like a potential instrument. This is my 2nd cooking utensil banjo.

Ken Burns surely must have excellent taste in music. Jay Unger and Molly Mason (Ashokan Farewell)  are also featured on many of his docs.

I was on the front page and the first picture I saw was a Bamboo steamer ? second was the steamer with a stick in it and I knew what it was and who built it. Man that sounds good.

Now I know who does all those great songs on the Ken Burns doc. thanks
