1920's Vega Little Wonder banjo for sold!

It went on ebay for $500.. Somebody got a good deal. That's just about what I paid for the parts. That's okay though. I'm happy to see it go to a good home, and somebody gets a good deal, and I had fun with it. I'm thinking I'd like to build another.. Maybe not right away, but sometime...

It was a steal at $500. Beautifully done neck.

I`ve got a 1922 Vega Whyte Laydie I found some forty years ago in the Baltimore County Dump(!) It was a tenor but I had a 5-string neck made for it by some folks up in Mass.; still have the tenor neck.

It`s one of my three "main" banjos, each named for one of my three wives....The other two are a 1930s Gibson and an 1880s George Washburn; wish I could do them justice. (The banjos; messed up badly with two of the wives....)

@Wishuey That whyte laydie's a fine banjo. What a find..

I'd be interested! What's the price!

I'll let it go for what it brings in auction, as long as I get back enough to pay for the parts I bought to put it together.

Hey, that is a digital wash effect due to allot of things. try the HQ version I still had it there, but it was not as noticeable. nothing wrong, and now that you notice it, pay attention to other viddy's you will hear it here and there...

[TOPHERHARPER]

OH MAN, ITS NOT THAT BAD, HE WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT IT WAS .

There are a bunch of things that can contribute towards it, even your personal inernet connection. I think there are filters that are programs, that much like an audio producer would use, if you reallly wanted to go that step.

Honestly its not that bad, and unless you are trying to do top notch youtube vddys. there is no need. 90% of folks will never here it.

I see. I don't hear it on my playback.  Don't know what to do about it. Sorry.

[TOPHERHARPER]

hi there

that ringing I think he is mentioning is the digital like sound that happens with lower quality on the upload, or the quality of the audio device. You may remeber hearing some different videos on here with the same thing, or like live bans when a cymbal crashes, it peaks the mike, and it sounds like a digital wash. I am hearing it on the playback on this viddy...

There's not one. I'm going to let it go for what it brings in the auction.
