Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine: Cedar Mt. demo

This is a Cedar Mountain Standard FH 12-inch banjo by Lo Gordon. It has a rolled brass tone ring atop a block, rosewood pot. Big sound! Tuned gCGCD (should have been capoed to D, but I'm lazy).

...what kinds of tunings are used in the style of playing that you play?

[zeppmusic]

@mandohiker Quite a few! I rarely stray from a half dozen or so these days, but there is a list of 124 of them on the BANJO-L website. I can't post a URL here, but it's an org: banjo-l Follow the links to 5-string tunings.

Hey Zepp don't forget to smile sometimes:D

[zeppmusic]

Oh. Right. Smile. I do know how, I simply forget when I'm playing... :-)

[mandohiker]

@zeppmusic thanks... i'll keep that in mind... one more thing: do you know of any banjo makers who's instruments are less expensive? i've a limited budget, but id don't want to go with one of the factory/mass-produced banjos...

Moi non plus je n'arrive pas à sourire en jouant et je joue moins bien !!

[PHJimY]

Very nice version Zepp.

[accordionman1950]

Very sweet banjo playing, my English grandfather used to play also, sounds great.

[lorgain2]

Excellent playing, the Irish version has a different air, try lorgain2 for Michael O`Sullibhean`s version.

Awesome, completely off the hook! Haha, good job, buddy, wonderful tune.

[OldtimeFiddler]

I love that tune. That is one of my favorites to play on the fiddle. Great Job on that.
