Clawhammer Tune on Fretless Mountain Banjo

Cool Tune Played on My Fretless Mountain Banjo. I think the tune has the catchy title of 'Satan! Your Kingdom Must Come Down!'. I presume it has some equally cheerful lyrics to go with it! Let me know what you think!

What kind of mountain banjo is that? Home made, kit or store bought? I really like the sound of the mountain banjo.

Hi There. I wish I could build a banjo like this! It was actually built by a fiddle maker in England. I came upon it by accident and bought it there and then. It seems to be based on the 'Frank Profitt' design of mountain banjo. Nylon strings, basic metal tone ring. I love it. Thanks for comment.

@spinzorelli is it full scale? it looks a little small to me

[spinzorelli]

@dasilvaec Yup, full scale, the tiny head makes the whole thing look quite small.
