How Banjos are Built at Yates Banjos

[NCyates]

Racerbluegrass, Respectfully speaking, everyone has different opinions for what they are looking for. The sample done for this video was done in a studio using two mics with the ability to pan and expand sounds. They are also placed about 8 inches away from the banjo. In concert it is one mic about 2 inches or less away from one place on the head. More mics with the ability to pan further away is why.

That's how you make a banjo.

And it takes a lifetime to pick like Ron Stewart! Great Banjo Warren, and Great video.

I have pleanty of room in my heart for it. It is the small shop and bank account where the troubles fall.

[Hikikomori013]

I love the sunburst effect on the neck. It's those little touches that really set an artist apart.

what song is this? this is awesome...

[NCyates]

Why don't you tell me so. I think Lester Flatt wrote it. Ron Stewart is playing his Yates banjo along with Adam Steffy on Mandolin.

Yes I have built one. I have designed one of about everything in case I need to move that direction in growth.

Thanks, Warren
