Make Your Own Banjo part 5 - audio

Listen!
Here's a first sample of the 'big dog' in action. I'm still suffering with a trapped nerve and can't play for more than a couple of minutes - this may also be due to the fact that big dog weighs a ton!

You can hear the buzzing on the first string and the actions a bit high, but these things can be sorted. The achievement is that it actually makes a sound!

Rumour has it that Harry wants to make another!

  1. Already sounds great Andy, just get the beast fettled to suite you and never look back!
    If Harry is on a roll don't get in his way.
    All power to Harry!

    I`ve been cheering out loud, it`s like the end of Rocky for Chrissakes!

    Harry = genius!

    Apart from a couple of minor wrinkles that can be ironed out,it looks like a banjo, it sounds like a banjo - IT IS A BANJO - and a damned good one at that.

    Please congratulate Uncle Harry and sentence him to transportation to Botany Bay. (We'll have him, anytime.)

  4. I can now actually hear the high action, it sounds great, but also a little painful to play. Don`t worry, your fingers will get used to it, and any other actions will seem a doddle.
