I know Robin- I just can't stop myself from having fun playing various instruments- dulcimers, epinettes, banjers, bones, penny whistles, limberjacks, lyras, jouhikkos...
Hmm... maybe i should call this a 'walkabout fretless banjimer' or something ? hehe heh
This is a fretless minstrel style 1880s reproduction banjo by James Hartel of NY. (I have the bridge temporarily slid way up inorder to play with Brian in Bflat)
looks like a great spot to share some tunes
I have a hard enough time fingering a diatonic fretboard. The idea of playing anything fretless makes my ears ache. My hat's off to you . . .
Bflat, a highland bagpiper would have fit right in
We were playing everything in Bflat that day Rob. :)
Good looking couple of musicians there! However... y'all need a dulcimer player. What keys are you playing in?
