  • "The God-Knows-We-Tried String Band." That's probably the greatest band name ever.

  • I think he means that the resonator projects the sound directionally more powerfully than an openback.

    He prefers openbacks as well. The little one with the painted head is his favorite of them all.

  • @wakeup6661 @sirlonghair No. Only simile. Tenor banjo is tune like a violet (CGDA) and mandolin like a violin (GDAE).

  • thanks for video, i just boyght my first tenor banjo.

    it's just so nice to hear someone so passionate about their instrument and the music.

  • A very articulate man. I really enjoyed this video.

  • no I want to play cover tunes just got My finger out of a splint I have a tenor banjo but have learned pink floyd wish you wear hear on My 1920 A-1 Gibson whats the tuning on a tenor

  • Is the tuning on tenor banjo the same as the mandolin?

  • Wonderful survey of all these fine instruments, Pat (name correction). Seems to cover everything Eddie Peabody would had some expertise with. Love especially the Vega and Martin instruments background. I've had no formal training with any acoustic instruments or voice, but have engaged in the audacity in uploading my attempts on my channel. Love to have you visit. Have also taken the liberty to try YouTube's new option, the attached video. Many thumbs up on this tutorial. Cordially, John

  • IT is louder (If needed) and projects without being amplified.

    Elf, you don't play the banjo.

  • Also he means that the hardware on that old vega resonator is higher quality, i.e., more expensive, hence he refers to the small open back as being liked by those who don't want to spend as much as they would on the vega.

  • I don't understand why he refers to resonators as being "higher level" I personally prefer the sound of an openback.
