thanks. made it up. can't play anyone else's stuff ;o)

Hi.Thanks for your comment. I used Aquila strings from a local shop. Purple Turtle - they have an ebay shop. Aquila strings are more expensive but make a huge difference. I put them on my 6 year old's spong bob uke. Sounds great too! Cheers Mat

I love that sound. I'll have to get some nylgut for my new tenor banjo.

Thanks. Be careful you don't get soft fingers!

did you have to file out the bridge for the gut strings? i know they are thicker than steel.

[matwynne]

Hi. I didn't file but it was a very tight fit and probably could have done with filing. Though the slots were probably already too big!

Thanks for the post and the idea of keeping an instrument by the toilet. Who needs to read when you practice in the most accoustic room in most people's house. Great idea.

Very nice. This makes me want a banjo.

nice sound--did your lady banish you to the john or do you just like the the acoustics there?

[CharlieMcCotton]

Nice playing, man! :-) What tune is that?

[fralin1966]
