What make of banjo is that?

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

I have no idea. It has a metal "Chicago" style heel plate but could have bee made anywhere, probably around 1890. It's highly unusual to find a banjo from this period with celluloid fingerboard & MoP inlays like that. It has a hollow steel tube for a dowel. A collector recently identified the tail piece for me, but I forgot the name he gave! Anybody know?

I've been learning claw-hammer, this seems a different plucking style, sounds great can't wait to try it!

[@PHIL-ts8si]

got me singing right away. The simplicity is genius. Thanks for the lesson

I love the fedora hat . Every time I see one I think of my grandpa who only wore fedoras.

I love that hat man. I only saw some older men in North Carolina wear them. When i see them it reminds me of NC.

I gotta ask, what kind of hat is that? been looking for one. Great video, just recently got a Deering Goodtime open back and enjoying it so far. Thanks for all the great videos

[@matthewgovig]

The melody sounds very close to Barbara Allen, do you think the two are related any?

[@matthewgovig]

Might could be like how Texas rangers was turned into german war, they kept the same melody but with changed words

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

Yes, sir. I think you're probably right.

[@JohnyG29]

Is that 13" pot? Looks larger than a 12".

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

It's just 12". The neck and peghead are beefier than usual which is probably throwing your eye.

[@JohnyG29]

@@CliftonHicksbanjo Oh right. That'll be it.
