Folk Giant Test Video-- Salad Bowl banjo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Made from a salad bowl for the body, a clear deli tray cover for the head. Maple neck, with 3 extra frets, like Pete Seeger's. Cobbled together a sliding 5th string capo out of a flat paper clamp and a slice of beef bone. Also bone bridge. Fret marks scored in with a utility knife, but no fret material installed.
What a nice and kind video ^_^ I love it! Glad to have such a nice friend as you, dear Mike Gregory!
Drop the 5th string down to the tuned four strings with no capo on. When u go up to G tuning then u can either manually tune the 5th up to G or use ur capo to raise it to G.
This is a nice looking instrument, sir.
I love it!
Nice one, Mike.
good test video Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm digging that headstock!
Oh, man, the tip to go to an autoparts store after it it rains to get old windshield wiper blades for frets is awesome!
What is making the horrible clicking sound in this video?
Another windshield wiper? :-)
Don Crowder My guess is that it's because the camera is right in front of a battery-operated pendulum clock, and it's the thingy that makes the pendulum go.
MOVE the camera, that noise needs to GO AWAY. :) Call me picky.
I I bought some 1 and 2 mm half-round plastic on eBay, for cheap, that would probably make middlin' good frets if you've got a glue that's adequate to hold them down. I made a uke bridge by gluing together pieces of veneer (with yellow wood glue), to get to the right height, and used some E6000 adhesive, which I bought at Dollar General, to glue a short piece of the 2 mm half round to it. Worked reasonably well.
Don Crowder I took the battery out of the clock, replayed the video, and the click is still on the audio. So, moving the camera NOW, is not going to help. Sorry.
Sounds kind of meh.
You've never been around a old time gourd banjo in your life. It's sounds just fine. Now go home and get under your moms apron. What a idiot to get on here and say that crap.
