As a collector of old yellow dogs, I have to say I prefer the open G. Kaia, my oldest dog, agrees and she thumps her old yellow tail like a big hairy metronome.
Oh My, that Bumble Bee is amazing! Wish I could afford all of the prettiness. I really am enjoying my black pot, walnut Sylamore. It sounds really impressive.
This tune is the American version of a Scottish tune in the 1600’s called Back O’ Bennachie. Bennachie is a mountain in Aberdeenshire. It’s a bagpipe tune and a Celtic folk song ( the song by the Old Blind Dogs is a great rendition).
I like it in the Double C tuning. I like the more open and slightly mellower sound. I just came across your youtube channel yesterday. So happy I've found it. I'll sign up for your lessons. Also, commenting on some of these videos to help with the algorithm. 😉 And I used to live in Harrison, so not far from your neck of the woods.
I think I prefer the second tuning. Both sound great, but the latter reminds me more of a Morgan Sexton sound… which I happen to be really digging at the moment. Awesome looking banjos though.
Your Banjos always looks fantastic, and your playing has always inspired me. i have learnt so much from watching your videos... 10 out of 10. Thanks man

Liked it in open G. I love the headstock inlay of the bee and flower! Perfect for me as I’m a beekeeper!

With the G tuning, I hear the dog yelling, with the double C I hear the dog singing
Thank you for the music.
Love that maple. Gorgeous.

Great info - interesting how so many of these American old time tunes came across the Atlantic, stored in the memories of migrant Irish and Scots.
Double C for me every time. Loved the shop update. That torrified maple is wonderful.
Very nice looking pieces of wood! Thanks for sharing.

Your playing seems effortless. I love the sound of your banjos. No metallic clang
Double C for the win.
Beautiful work!
As always, your playing (and your banjos) is perfect and precice. Think I vote for the open G but both work well.
Opening g 😊
Both versions sound great, but I like the C tuning more.
do you hand turn your segmented pots on a lathe
,i see in the background
Where could I buy well figured exotic ebony (like you show here) fretboard and head plate blanks, thank you.. Ron in WA.
It’s rare. That’s some wood that just happened to be in my order a few years ago and then I sat on it.
Any truss rods in ur necks?
Two way truss rods in all of our necks 👍
It’s nice all slow sweet and soft like that. I play it much faster and rowdier
Double C🙂
