That is fantastic. My dad used to sing that to his Grand Daughter, her favourite. Could you tell me where you managed to find all the parts for your Banjo?. I'd like to build 1 for my son who is 5. My own 5 string is just a bit big for him at the moment and he loves trying to play it. I have spent many hours looking on the web for parts but to no avail. I could buy one but think it would be great to build it for him.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Hope to see some posts from Isabelle
