Check out my brand new gourd banjo made by Pete R Ross! It has a Walnut neck, goatskin head, geared tuners, a Boucher-style headstock and plays like a dream. I highly recommend his work! I'm tuned to dADF#A (open G tuned down a 4th).

I’ve been coming back every couple of months and watching this video since it was released, and it’s still fairly unique among the banjo styles featured prominently on youtube
If you like this look up Dan Gellert! He does a great version of this tune and is a very syncopated player
Well dang ! And all these years I've just been making bird houses with my gourds.
I never took gourd banjos seriously... that is... not until I heard your absolute mastery of it. I genuflect to your greatness, sir.
Very, very nice! Hearing my first gourd 12 years ago completely ruined me for the shrill sound of the modern steel string banjo. I do believe the African instrument got it right, though, by allowing the neck to come into contact with the membrane, which deadens the resonance a bit and give a clearer crisp more focused tone. I stick a towel in my gourds, between the dowel and head, and enjoy the wispy goodness of the strings. Yum.
Some serious skill there, top job to you sir! The banjo is really special too, great sound you're getting out of it
really cool! I like how you can do slides since it doesn't have frets.
I’ve watched this video a half dozen times in two days. Love the sound of that instrument. So cool!
Fantastic!!! I like it so much that I sat down with my gourd banjo and learned it from Brad on RUclips.
Such a phantastic and mellow sound for a banjo! No clownish pleng pling plang 😁
What an interesting tone...LOVE this! TFS
Sounds beautiful. I love the deepness of the sound from your banjo.
Awesome. Makes me want to learn claw hammer style. and get a Gourd banjo.
Craftsmanship! That gourd is a beaut! Always a pleasure to listen to your playing as well.
It has a nice sound to it.
That's a beautiful sound
Amazing sound,brilliant playing, and a beautiful banjo !....
nice sound and you play well
So cool! Instead of an open back, it has a closed back, and a hole in the side like a West African kora.
Nice playing, thanks for sharing
Great sound. good job playing it too!
Talent!
Excellent, M. Kolodner ! You're a great artist. Thank you.
Excellent sounding instrument. Mighty fine playing too!
Great sound (tone) and well played too. Thank you.
The Real Deal!
Thanks for posting
Gord-o-licious, Brad!
sweet playing, Brad. Thanks for posting.
Great mate, love it!
wow! are those friction pegs, or are there gears hid away in there?
Brad, where does this version of Black eyed Susie come from? It doesn’t quite sound like any of the old versions I can find, especially the B part that goes back and forth between the low and high note... but so many people play this version!
I'm not 100% sure if he was first to do this way but check Dan Gellert playing it. There's a video on here from the 90s and so far as I've seen he's the sort of guy to play with an old tune and do something like this with it, so would be no shock if he was the first.

Outstanding!
Sounds just great Brad ... Thanks for sharing this ... Yours Guy
Hell yeah
I love it very bassey
Funky man! You sound killin
Awesome 👍❤
Lots of sassy "english" in this playing, like you're really digging deep into the well of the instrument. Inspiring!
Nice JO
That was great!!!
This shit fuckin slaps. Rockin it
Great sound, Brad. Can I ask about your stands. What stand do you use for your gourd banjo?
Good question! A stand that has lots of clearance below the tailpiece. I hang mine on the wall behind me so I don’t have a dedicated floor stand for mine.
@@bradkolodnermusic Thanks. I might try that too.
@@bradkolodnermusic Thank you.
What kind of banjo?
Mashalla boy
great sound conjures up America circa 1840-plantation music-
hhello, do you reinforce the gourds with something to make them stronger to hold the skin's tension? thankss
no
gourds are strong
Great stuff. What a beautiful instrument
That is a beauty. Really nice tone and playing.
