well, johns banjo is pretty much wrapped up. im going to have to take it apart in order to get the final coats of finish on. i think i'll also make a more interesting tailpiece.
this banjo sounds absolutely fantastic. the tone is perfectly balanced between thumpiness and kick. or, to use non-vague terms: the lows and the highs are good. the neck is made out of a piece of ash from indiana with a scale length of 26.5" and the pot is made from a modern, 12" maple rim. as always, click for full (huge) size.
