Frank Fairfield is one of the best musicians alive today, God bless him. Love that he's keeping our musical heritage as Americans alive. (Also love the background -- never saw plywood looking so good!)
The use of the rope for a strap, and the peg in the side of the bango neck, a 5th string tuner.Looks amazingly old. Banjo and clothing style. I am able to see a style long gone. Thank you for sharing with us your beautiful voice and playing talent.

It is not gone I am a folksinger myself we are all around Folks just ignore us which is fine by us.
Frank Fairfield and this song inspired a poem I wrote called THE APPREHENSION OF FRANK FAIRFIELD.

Trish Richardson Also that he's not using picks and that it's a Clawhammer banjo. The head is nice and worn too.

Warn Thank You!
Aniando, Swdeden
wow.
Frank bears down rather hard on his banjo, but its him and its the style both. ;-)
typically the brown found in this area of the banjo was from the tobacco stain on the fingers.
whaat tuning is this???? i love you frank
You have an unbelievable talent, both clawhammer and singing. Who built the banjo?
@messmeup77 amazon.com has his album. i purchased it in digital form myself.
anyone got the tuning on this? E?
@Oldpiper73 Don't think he really plays much clawhammer. Mostly up-picking. Its an early Kay banjo.
@lastfirstface you mean like dock boggs style up picking? that's what it looks like...
@forgeryful Or Boone.
that looks like blood on the banjo head
tuning?
@joesto444 They're wear marks from his fingers resting on the head.
Nah but seriously what is the tuning
Nathan Magill double c tuning

Whoof. I double dog dare y'all to try and be cooler than Frankie Fairfield.
