Great information. Thanks

my god these banjo's are beautiful. Really having a hard time deciding. I also have a bodhran put easily tunable. Love the sound of real skin, even as a vegitarian. I live on a boat so..well... humidity. Do you still use the wax and does it change the sound. - Kijk net op je site, dacht al ver weg een NL accent te horen.

Den stemme kan man ikke gå gal af. Hvor i landet bor du, som ung banjo spiller ville jeg være interesseret i at mødes up og få lavet en håndlavet banjo hvis du altså er oppe for at lave venstre hånds modeller.

Johannes the way you say you're Name sound wary danish am i right?

Great video. Most use calf skin heads, but he did not have time to go into the differences.

Rainy days are bassy feeling anyway :)

Nice😊

How can I order one of your banjos? They are beautiful. Also, you and my Great great grandfather share your first name. He lived in Germany.

Where do you get your bridges? Do you make them? They're compensated (at least the one I could see) and very thick. I think that probably helps the tone...

Is he still in business? Not having any luck finding a place to buy his banjos

Nice

Or a car engine 😝

Thanks so very much for sharing! Great music 👍👏😃

Great video Thanks 👍👏👏

Sounds like Old World goodness :):):)

Great video. I learned a lot. Please make more videos.

Hi there johannes,i live in scotland and it's quite damp here most of the year,i make vacuum tube amplifiers and when i make a speaker grill from any cloth material which will be a natural fibre like goat skin,i spray water on to the material,not to soak it but to get it a bit damp,this will make the material expand,so that when i tighten it in the damp state it will tighten even more as it dries out when the material contract due to loss of moisture. I would like to get a more mellow tone from my 5 string banjo the head is a synthetic skin and sounds tinny,do you think this method of dampening with water mist would help the skin stay tighter for longer if you live in a damp climate so the skin might not expand too much,have you tried this method. I hope that if you do try it you might contact me to let me know how it went,though i hope this technique may be use full to you in some way.

Thanks for the video Johannes, I like the banjo on the far right. It seems to have a bright ring to it with superior sustain.

I came here from your version of "Buzzards". I am not a banjo player, but I think this video is exemplary for its straight-ahead, clear, comprehensive exposition.

SOunds wonderful .. Thanks for sharing .. I love your playing ...

An excellent video; thank you! 😀

Thank,s very much, its nice to hear your point of view

it feels like he is acting? or reading from a script

Nice looking Banjos! I also favour real skin heads and fit them even on my cheap banjo ukuleles to make them sound like better quality instruments. I use nikwax water based water proofing wax for leather and it makes them immune to humidity with no visible or audible difference and I suspect a bit of added stain resistance.

I love this film. could play it over and over again.

hello, Would you help me with a question? I am going to put a goat skin on my dobson b. I have a dehumidifier i keep in my guitar room to dry out my guitars during rainy season. would a dehumidifier harm the goat skin on the banjo? crack it? or do what i hope it will do keep it stable. thanks.

This is a great video. I am seriously considering switching to a calf skin head and am wondering if there is much difference in stability compared to goat skin. I like the sound of a thin calf skin, but I also want to be able to get through a jam session without needing to mess with my banjo.

Your camera is very clear my good friend

Thanks brother.

Sooo good, wonderful playing and that banjo sound!!!!!!

Beautiful. What's your tuning here?

I have one of your banjos and tried the renaissance wax. It is terriffic, use it on all the wood surfaces and it makes the neck very easy to traverse up and down. It also gives a nice sheen, not like a glossy wax, but brings out the grain with satin finish. Thanks for the advice and the great banjo !

Hauntingly pretty

LOVE YOUR BANJOS ,HOW CAN I BUY ONE?

Great video Johannes! Makes me even more excited to see and play my banjo.

SÅDAN kristian. Det lyder helt vildt fedt :-)

@ Guy, thanks for your nice words! That is pretty amazing there is no movement, mine react a little to the humidity, but I use goat skin heads. Are the heads on your banjos treated in any way like "smoked" from open fires or impregnated because of use?

I have a wonderful old HC Dobson with a very old calf skin head and it is always fine in all weather.. In fact all my older banjos have 100 plus years on the skin heads and non have movment in our very humid summers.. New heads just need to settle in IMHO ... Ray would love where you have gotten with your work .. He is very missed here in Connecticut .. What beautiful banjos Johannes ! If I ever get back to Copenhagen to see my old friends I will come looking for you ...

Aaah, this is so awesome.

Utsökt lirat. Och en bra låt är det ju också.
