Original Cello Banjo Tune "Efrosini"

http://www.banjocrazy.com/

Hi, my name is Paul Roberts. I'm playing a Gold Tone (CEB-5) five-string cello banjo, tuned gCGCD.

This is an original Greek-sounding composition, I wrote in honor of my dear mother-in-law, Efronsini.

Please visit my website http://www.banjocrazy.com/ where I sell Gold Tone banjos and have articles and interviews with some wonderful banjo players. I'll be adding tabs and other fun stuff, so keep me posted.

I'm a plucked string player from way back. I've had the opportunity to explore music on various instruments from around the world, and am pleased to have made my living... by living my passion, which is Music.

My current state of mind is greatly colored by a love affair I've been having with cello banjos. These intriguing beasts have been resurrected in the modern world, thanks to Wayne Rogers of Gold Tone, who had the insight, foresight and hindsight to breathe new life into an instrument that hadn't been around in close to a century.

Now that it's back, the cello banjo offers a portal into many regions of sound. I find the cello banjo affords a gateway to the music of ancient cultures. I'm not surprised that banjoists such as Béla Fleck are gravitating to the Gold Tone cello banjo.

I play both 4 and 5-string versions of this remarkable instrument. The four is call CEB-4. I have several articles and interviews focused on cello banjos on my website http://www.banjocrazy.com/ including discussions with Marcy Marxer (who's the reason it's back), Bob Carlin, Cathy Moore and others.

Thanks for listening to my music.

You sound fantastic. You should listen to cümbüses, a turkish family of instruments. Thank you.
