You got this one Rachel Yes Thanks .. I just looked at Bruce's clip of Low Down Lonesome Low and you can see the half moon peghead from Kevin's website . What a beautiful banjo this is . Its in the perfect hands for it .. Bruce is a nice guy as well ! He has said nothing but great things about Kevin's banjos.. I have a Enoch Dobson and love its balance and it speaks up just fine at jams..

So very nice.....

YEAH ! That's awesome !

[@JorisKoolen]

I think that's Cahalen Morrison watching there on the right..

[@blindas72]

I was thinking the same thing. Those sideburns!

This sounds like the same Cumberland Gap tuning that Hattie Stoneman used on the Folkways recording. I heard the late banjo player Commie Tipton of Townsend, TN play it in this tuning.

You are good brother.

[@TreebeardLennon]

What kind of banjo is he playing? Supertone?

[@guywolff]

I know Bruce has a K Enoch but the scoop does not look like his work . My guess on the peg head and scoop looks a bit more like a Chuck Lee. Also the light wood on the underside of the pot adds to my vote towards Chuck . I hope someone else knows for shore . All the best , guy

@TreebeardLennon it might as well be a dead raccoon and a pair of shoelaces. He is that good.
