Hellow! "Tony & Wyatt Rice & Bill Keith & friends Jam Session" Can someone please tell me in this video that there is something on the back of the 2nd and 3rd string tuners of Bill Keith's banjo that looks like a rod. What on earth is it?
The example I gave (F# to G and A to B) is how I remember Bill using them. But you could find other moves. They don't exist commercially, but I remember how they look like. So if you are a little handy, you can make them yourself. They are made from aluminum and have about the shape of the wooden stick in an ice cream. In the middle you should make a hole that fits the axis of the tuner below the button. Keep it wide enough so it is still strong enough in the middle. You could also just have them wider in de middle. Don't have them too long so you don't get bothered with them between the tuners. Bend both sides 90° along the axis of the stick so they are comfortable at use. Well. I hope all this makes sense to you. Keep me updated.
Thank you. This is great information, and it's a must-see for anyone who loves Bill Keith. However, it's hard to understand in writing. Your video explanation is essential. I look forward to your help.
Awesome!!! Great picking!!

Yes. With those he could turn the 2nd and 3rd tuner simultaneously. Usually the 2nd up from A to B and the 3rd up from F# to G.
Thank you, I appreciate it. Does this device work in open G tuning for the banjo? I'm very interested, can I get one?
