I`ve got a 1922 Vega Whyte Laydie I found some forty years ago in the Baltimore County Dump(!) It was a tenor but I had a 5-string neck made for it by some folks up in Mass.; still have the tenor neck.
It`s one of my three "main" banjos, each named for one of my three wives....The other two are a 1930s Gibson and an 1880s George Washburn; wish I could do them justice. (The banjos; messed up badly with two of the wives....)
You buy it I'll sign it. Far as shipping it to Norway, as long as you're willing to pay the cost and tell me the best way to ship it so it get's to you safely, I'd be willing.. I've shipped to other countries before, but once had a banjo get stuck in customs up in Canada for a couple months..
Good luck! I've always wanted a banjo, just don't have the money at the time. I'm 19 and looking for a job, once I've got one I'll probably pick one up, I'll have to check to make sure you're not selling any at the time hehe.
How cold is it up there this morning? Is it cold in your house? I hear a ringing like sound on your videos now, I don't know if its the tape or my end of things. Nice looking banjo!
that ringing I think he is mentioning is the digital like sound that happens with lower quality on the upload, or the quality of the audio device. You may remeber hearing some different videos on here with the same thing, or like live bans when a cymbal crashes, it peaks the mike, and it sounds like a digital wash. I am hearing it on the playback on this viddy...
OH MAN, ITS NOT THAT BAD, HE WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT IT WAS .
There are a bunch of things that can contribute towards it, even your personal inernet connection. I think there are filters that are programs, that much like an audio producer would use, if you reallly wanted to go that step.
Honestly its not that bad, and unless you are trying to do top notch youtube vddys. there is no need. 90% of folks will never here it.
Hey, that is a digital wash effect due to allot of things. try the HQ version I still had it there, but it was not as noticeable. nothing wrong, and now that you notice it, pay attention to other viddy's you will hear it here and there...
very pretty banjo--nice playing you did---good luck on selling it

It was a steal at $500. Beautifully done neck.
