@IEJP Yep, and I put a screw through the box into the bottom of the stick, and hang the tail piece on that..

i like the tune at 2:00 any chance you can pass that tune, or download it some how, itunes maybe???? :) :P

[rpeek]

That is "The Lady Gay" Buell Kazee did that back in the 20's or 30's.. Wicked old song, they say goes back even further, might want to search Kazee or "The Lady Gay" to find that.

Put some re-bar in there! Hahaha. What a shame. The brass looked like nuthin other!

[rpeek]

Yea, I'll remake that brass banjo somehow. Not sure how yet, but I've got some pieces and parts that I can use to patch it all back together.
