Paddy won't you drink some cider ?

[JodysConcertina]

Nice playing there. That's a very different version of Paddy from the one I know, esp in the B section. Where did the one you're playing come from?

[5000eclipse]

Pretty sure I heard a version from Brad, Tom & Alice on Sugar in the Gourd Radio. Thanks for the kind words.

really lovely! So tuneful and lots of expression! Why a fretless? This certainly no bum ditty!

Hi,

Very nicely done.

What is your scale length?

[5000eclipse]

Alligood - thanks for the kind words. This is a tenor-to-5-string conversion, so it's relatively short. It's fretless, and I have it set up w/ scale length just shy of 20". More info on this banjo on my website, see banjo #027.

Hi Jake - those are the heavy gage Minstrel strings. How's the snow up your way ??

Sounds great!

Are you using standard nylgut strings or the heavier minstrel types to compensate for the lowered tension?
