Love your shine hide 😂😂😂❤😊😊😊😊

[@TheGrowlery]

That's cool as hell, and that head looks great.

[@Sean13114]

Hey great video! I’d love to hear you play old smoky again sometime soon. Just found out about that f#ADAD tuning and it’s a hell of time to play in

[@michaelharvey5138]

Well used, but lovely old banjo, lovely sound, and perfectly played, as usual ....

[@TheDynarc]

Thanks från Sweden,love oldtime banjo.....

[@itsobvious5835]

You did a good job with that one. Especially the gluing of the cracks in the rim.

[@jamesantkeegan83]

I love the way these old banjos have that plucky sound and don't resonate too much! Good work soldier!😊

Thanks for sharing partner! I was watching that one on eBay but didn’t bid because it looked so odd. I couldn’t tell if it was the real deal or like you say...circa 1950’s. It went for a very respectable price none-the-less.

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

Yes, an unusually hard banjo to date. The hardware and rim struck me as older than the neck at first, but upon disassembly it appeared that the neck & pot were built together. Most odd. I think the whole thing may have been refinished when the modern repairs were done, which threw me off.

[@LoneRevD]

Interesting to see pine, that's a cool old banjo. Sounds really cool.

[@simonolsen9995]

Lovely sounding instrument and great resto. I swear I was waiting for you to say it was the original head... that replacement looks great, Did you stain it or did that tiger stripe pattern come with the head? Although I gotta say, I'd be terrified of picking up and putting that banjo down. I think one absent minded bump and it would be all tears and regret.

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

I always add a _little_ walnut juice to each hide soak which lends a slight amber tint to them if done right.

[@simonolsen9995]

Cool. I actually wondered if you had used your own walnut juice stain, but didn't think it would take on the modern head. It looks legit old.

[@eliolira1798]
