What kind of mountain banjo is that? Home made, kit or store bought? I really like the sound of the mountain banjo.

[spinzorelli]

Hi There. I wish I could build a banjo like this! It was actually built by a fiddle maker in England. I came upon it by accident and bought it there and then. It seems to be based on the 'Frank Profitt' design of mountain banjo. Nylon strings, basic metal tone ring. I love it. Thanks for comment.

@spinzorelli is it full scale? it looks a little small to me

[spinzorelli]

@dasilvaec Yup, full scale, the tiny head makes the whole thing look quite small.

@spinzorelli ...Lark in the Morning (website) offers mountain banjo kits....

[northbound74]

exellent!what are you tuned?

[spinzorelli]

Hi There...thanks for comment. Tuning is G tuning raised up to A (roughly), so 'aEAC#E'

[spinzorelli]

Oops, sorry, got that wrong. The tuning is actually double C tuning raised up to double D.
