Zepp, I just acquired one of those last month. Do I love it, oh my, do I! I've never played a sweeter banjo and I think I've finally conquered my BAS. Except I'm hoping to win the A scale TuBaPhone from Banjo Hangout...
do you sell those poker face masks at your shop? oh wait,,not a mask, i saw a smile at 43 seconds. great playing as usual. i love the tempos u play, people could learn a lots from that lesson. thx
What would nylon of Nylgut strings do the sound of this banjo? Does nylon or Nylgut work well on a Tradesman? Appreciate your thoughts. I'm thinking of getting one and trying to figure out steel vs nylon/Nylgut.
If my eyes were closed, there is no way I could consistently tell the difference between cherry and walnut necks--my advice is to pick the wood you think is most attractive.
As to the choice between the Tradesman or the Gold Tone, I'd ask you to contact me privately via email or call the store toll free at 866-365-5189 and discuss this matter with the Manager there, Marc. There are large differences, and many things to consider!

Yeah, well, I do get teased about the whole deadpan thing. I really do enjoy it, but I sorta zone out when I play...

My, those Tradesmen are nice. Is there a difference in sound between walnut and cherry?
What do you think about a Tradesmen vs a GoldTone whyte laydie? Tough choice.

Thanks--sorta got lost there... But, as I tell my students to "just keep playing something..." I try to practice what I preach! :-)
