Interested in info on the banjo she is playing. The notch on e next near the top string tuning peg is that made to accommodate her small hands, and isn’t just me or are the strings further apart than normally? I know nothing about banjos just curious.
Looks like she is playing a banjo very similar to the one here (see link). Hers is a fretless banjo, strung with nylon (or gut) strings, rather than the steel strings used in most banjos today. A bluegrass musician uses a banjo with a resonator on the back, while most old-time players use an open back banjo. The fretless banjo, while not used by most players, is sometimes used in old-time playing.The strings here might be further apart than on most banjos. americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_605672

Sure looks like that one doubt hers is that old tho.
@@rossguillory5556 Here's a very similar-looking banjo. Not old. This one has a gourd body.

It’s a minstrel banjo. A replica of old style banjos from the minstrel era.
This girl probably has some interesting DNA. Blessed ✝
