I've since swapped the gourd on this one for a larger one, and cleaned up the pickin' a little, but I made this video right after completing the banjo. The neck, bridge, and tuners are Ipe, and I used Nylgut strings which I have fallen in love with.

  • I did, this is the first one of nine that I've built. I've fallen in love with the sound that these banjos make, so I keep making them to see how many different sounds you can get out of different sized and shaped gourds!

  • Hey, thanks for the nice comment about my mountain minstrel!

    Your gourd banjo sounds great - I want to make one but I'm having difficulty sourcing a dried gourd over here in the UK. Looks like I'll have to get something shipped in.

    Please post a video with the larger gourd, I'd love to see it.

    All the best
