Julie Ann Johnson on an Ome Juniper

Wow, excellent playing!! I found the video when looking for oldtime tunes so the banjo model is less interesting to me, but it sounds good though..

nice cluck

[dickymoth]

I've noticed you play over the scoop of your instruments, Is this to get a certain sound, or does it favour a particular style of play?

[zeppmusic]

I like the softer, warmer sound one gets playing there. Plus, the "cluck" is easy to do over the 19th fret harmonic...

Why don't you care for fiberskyn heads? I was considering getting one.

[zeppmusic]

They are a bit muffled for my taste. Better than frosted heads, but a bit dead. I really like Renaissance heads, as do most builders--they are clear without being overly bright.

Again, though, just my preference.

Thankyou so much! Now lets see if i can master it! I am 63 and been playing only a few months!-i wonder have time left?

[batum44]

wonderful! whats your tuning?

[zeppmusic]

Thanks! The tuning is "double C" (gCGCD) but capoed two to be "Double D" (aDADE) with the 5th string merely tuned up to that A.
