Moth Hunter on cello banjo

An original tune by Fred Pribac of Tasmania, and one of my favorite tunes to play. Played on my Gold Tone cello banjo in aEADE.

To learn more about Fred and hear him play several of his tunes, stop by his home page on the Banjo Hangout:

You are amazing as always. I love your playing.

Are those nylon strings?

[BanjoMeetsWorld]

Thanks for your comment. Most of the strings are metal-wound nylon (classical guitar). The 1st string is bare nylon.

Thanks for this and all of the other clips. You have found a great angle to capture both the right and the left hands - very helpful, and the best that I've seen. Just to check - you are tuned aEADE an octave down?

[BanjoMeetsWorld]

Yes, I'm an octave below aEADE.

What a great tune to play on a cello banjo! One of these days I am going to get me one of those! Excellently played.

Thank you for a spacious rendition of a classic tune. I'm loving the sense of occasion in this tune- the brushes really make it hum. Fantastic pulloffs and hammers. A great piece for a movie! Fred Pribac you legend!

Oh WOW! Have I been too isolated from the world or is this really something unique??? This is my first time seeing/hearing a "Cello Banjo". I love it! Holy Cow!
