Fantasic playing buddy

5/5. are we gonna see any more videos with this banjo?

[MandoMohan]

Exquisite

[Mandolinpossum]

Excuse me while I cry from Rapture. That banjo is absolutely beautiful! I knew the old Minstrels were big, but this took me by a bit of a surprise. XD And that sound is absolutely amazing! I'm working on building my own fretless minstrel, similar to this, though more to the size of a bluegrass banjo. If I can find some longer strings than what I'm currently using. I will definitely try building something to this scale and tone.

[tanglefingers]

Aquilla Nylgut minstrel banjo strings...

[Mandolinpossum]

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I'll look into getting a set asap.

[TheBanjoBoy]

Holy crap is that a big banjo!

[kentuckuh]

I love this video--long live the Death Star banjo.

Banjiters

[djypsydjazz]

They had some larger head diameters back then. That banjo is fourteen inches and it was a pretty popular design at the time.

[bharper419]

that thing is huge. it looks like a five string hub cap. great song though

[darius97]

i have a request. can you do roustabout on that banjo?

[pegandawl]

Beautiful.

What tuning is this? Is it dGDGA ...? (I guess that's like gCGCD, but with a longer scale length ...)

Thanks.

[PeterDoughty]

[Iplayabanjo]

Chris Thile's and the How to Grow a Band - How to Grow a Women From the Ground and Not All Who Wander Are Lost...

uhhhh

The Old Crow Medicine Show - O.C.M.S. and anything else you can find...

The Avett Brothers - Emotionalism and Four Thieves Gone.

If you want to go old school go track down some of Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers...

If you can't find them (which you might not, most of his recordings still on wax cylinders from the 1800s)

Great playing on a beautiful banjo.

[beachcaster56]

fantastic..lovely sound and great skill

[Spludgeroo]

Great authentic sound. Nice playing.

[FretlessFury]

Hi folks,

For those of you inquiring about the banjo: it's a James Hartel "Henry Stichter" model minstrel reproduction. 14 inch head, 31 inch scale length. It's strung with gut strings.

James Hartel makes gorgeous banjos. I highly recommend his instruments!

Cheers!

[harrismagoon]

VERY well done!  Is there any information available on that instrument?

[Jorsh123]

Now that there is a fine minstrel banjo!

[Banjer]

Beautiful, show anothe one

[Lostmychops]

Great tune, great playing, and great banjo! Where on earth did you get that from? My fretless banjo is prettier, but it's not as loud or as clear as that beast! Anyway, hats off to ya!
