Nice playing, thanks lads.
The dark sound could be because the head has not been tightened in a long time, and may have relaxed a bit ??

Excellent. Thank you.

No, I AM in US (RI) but most ironically, the cheapest place to buy the banjo was not here, but there! I actually called Deering and they gave me an explanation which basically stated they keep the retail price and allow merchants to set their own price. As Eagle is a reputable company and sets the banjos up for Irish tenor I'm happy. Not too many Irish tenor players on our side of the pond as on yours! As a result, tons of five string banjos but hard to track down a four string Calico!

The banjo's in standard GDAE and the guitars in DADGAD.

I will take pleasure in knowing the tuning then , as it sounds different from mine. :)
Sounds great! And I just ordered a new Calico from Eagle Music...can't wait!

Is that a Deering Calico tenor? If so, I'm curious as to how you got a darker tone out of it than I've heard from them before?

It is indeed. Not sure really. It is just a standard set up with medium gauge phospher bronze strings. It must just be the way I play - perhaps a little further off the bridge than most?
