Cold Frosty Morn on wood top banjo

Banjo experiment. Plywood top with guitar tuner for the 5th string. Just looking for less expensive way to use geared tuners for banjos. CB Gitty econos with an adaptation for the 5th string.

Clifftop is a long-term goal!  I've been to the Indiana Fiddlers Gathering, but stars have not aligned to get me back there, and it is just down the road.  When I get it together for WV, I'll be sure to seek you out!  Lots of Chicago fiddlers make the annual trek.  We might know some of the same players!

Thanks James and Vinnie. Yeah Diane. Chicago to West Virginia. Blues town to mountain music area -- that works! Appalachian String Band Festival also known as Clifftop is where I go evey year to jam with old friends and make new new ones. If you've never been it's a great experience.

This is a favorite fiddle tune of mine.  If I ever swing your way, we'll play a few tunes together?
