- How awesome is this banjo!! It sounds great, it looks great, it feels great- I'm so happy with it! Go check out Jesse's website and instagram to see more of his work! His website is jesseheadnaturalluthiership.com/ and his instagram is / head_jesse . And let me know what you think I should name this banjo!
The songs I played here were Wildflowers by Dolly Parton and Salt Spring, and I'm in standard G tuning.

Sweetest, mellow sound to ever come out of a banjo. Beautiful craftsmanship too.
Not gunna lie: that’s like saying a knife is good cause it ain’t sharp.
@@apennameandthata2017 thank you for not lying about that
@@apennameandthata2017 Good for butter and marmalade.
It sounds like a cross between a banjo and a guitar. It’s not a typical banjo sound, but I like it.
@@scaredyfish Same for me, I found it very pleasing...but I'm not a huge banjo fan.
I am an old man now😊. I started playing the banjo many, many years ago….years before you were born. Admittedly, I was an Earl Scruggs disciple. Your videos always make my day…I always look forward to your new ones. Thank you for being such a treasure in my dotage. Your gord banjo is a genuine treasure!
She's the greatest isn't she 🙂
She’s too good for Cambridge right?
Ain't she just the cutest, Charlie Brown!
Chomo
Can I ask her something
Thank you for sharing my banjo! We all love the way you play Phoebe! You make my banjo sound way better than I could ever make it sound 😅
There's nobody else I would rather give a banjo to.
Splendid piece of work Sir!
Everything about this video is charming. Love from UK
🪕🇬🇧
Incredible build @jesseheadluthierie
God bless you sir. You are one of a kind.
This is so cute & wholesome! Beautiful job! 😊
That banjo has an AMAZING sound to it.
Super agree with you and also the way it looks super unique!
That's a sweet banjo Phoebe. Love the antler arm rest. Your shed is quickly becoming Phoebe's Banjo Barn.
When I was a kid learning the banjo my mother did everything possible to deaden the sound for some peace in the house. If I had this banjo with its sweet sound, my family would have enjoyed my learning process more. It’s a beautiful instrument.
that's the exact word to describe how this instrument sounds.. just a sweet sound and doesn't hurt the ears.. it's not too late to play a beautiful banjo though 😊
the title isn't click bait. it's the best ever
Doc is so smart! We can watch her figure out how each instrument plays different.
What a beautiful mellow sound that banjo has! Often I find banjo a bit 'twangy', but that one is smooth as silk. Love it. And I haven't even watched the whole video yet. 😎
Edit: Ok, so it needs a name beginning with b.. hmmm.. How about 'Blitzen'? As in Santa's reindeer. Because a) you got it as a present and b) it has an antler.
My work here is done... 🤣
That's a great looking Banjo! You should call it Brando because it's branded with your chicken!
"Brando. It's got what banjerinas crave!"
@@piguy3point14 It's got electrolytes.
I really like the tone of this banjo. One or two more and you can open up a banjo museum!
Jesse is an artist crafting such a beautiful piece that sounds so great!
Such a compliment, it's too much. Thank you 😅
@@jesseheadluthieriebecause you are, honey ❤️
Definitely a mellow sound! More like mandolin. Sweet a clear, almost gentle. Thank you.
Suggestion for the name: "Bumpkin"
Because it's a Banjo, a pumpkin and a chicKin.
Or maybe 'Berl' as in 'Berlin' because it has a "wall" nut top.
That's a very nice idea for the banjo name!
Great idea sounds lovely 😍
Gourdgeous George . Beautiful instrument . Frail on!
😂
Very cool! My friends grandpa used to make these. Sadly he was up in his 90s when I met him. He jad dementia, but my friend asked him to show one to me. He could remember everything about that gourd banjo, even how to play it! I haven't seen one since. Thanks for sharing. Brought tears to my eyes. That is a work of love and art. Simply amazing
The first chicken to achieve immortality since Foghorn Leghorn. What a beautiful instrument, great sound, and touching memorial.
Beauregard!! Thank you for these!!!
71 living solo!! I smile and my foot taps every time!!! Peace!!
Looks and sounds fantastic! 👌
Within the first 20 seconds I knew that was a great banjo. The sound is superb, crisp and flows very well. He did a wonderful job.
That instrument sounds great... such a warm, gentle sound.
Love the bookmatched walnut and the Osma inlay!
Osma *doffs hat, holds over heart*
Exquisite instrument. The antler, wood choices, inlays and scoop make it a real one off.
Sweet sweet sound
Hey, I just stumbled upon your channel and subscribed.
It was kinda serendipitous since I just started getting into banjo, recently. I, honestly, just clicked on your video because of how photogenic you are but was then surprised by how genuinely cool your content is.
That gord banjo is so well crafted that it's a playable work of art. And I really like the others you have in the background. I'm going to have to go back through your videos as I'm still in that early learning stage as far as banjos go.
I started learning guitar 5 years ago, when I was 20, and enjoy fingerpicking so I'm interested to see if having those skills will make it easier for me to pick up banjo.
Banjo name suggestion: Bantam (after the chicken breed)
You’re glowing! So blessed to here you play!!
Gorgeous, I've never seen a gourd banjo - Maybe name it "Birdie" since it has the chicken on it on it, or "Bestie" since Osma was one of you best friends.
Your playing always cheers me up but that banjo is on another level - fantastic
I'm learning more about banjos thanks to this channel, but this is the prettiest sounding banjo I've ever heard!
I couldn't agree more.. it sounds so smooth that it doesn't hurt the ears ☺️
"Beau" sounds like a Dixie-fied pronunciation of "bowl," and since the heart of it is a goard bowl... :)
Happy Monday, thanks for the tunes and smiles!
I love your energy, enthusiasm and your wonderful smile❤
That banjo is the "Cat's Meow" and your playing it so awesome! You were meant to be long lasting friends. Veteran "Charlie"
What a wonderful Banjo! He is a real artisan!
And what a wonderful Banjo player too! Phoebe, you’re THE BEST! Love your yellow studio and the low ceiling... You Go Girl! ❤️
That is a true work of art! Great job Jesse, and thank you for helping our favorite banjo friend
Nice tone from your terrific looking banjo. I appreciate how you talk about each of your instruments and the variety you've collected. One of the other things I enjoy about your channel is your authenticity. You seem very down to earth and honest. By the way, I hope your finals went well! Keep up the good work and wonderful videos.
That instrument is cool. It's got a really unique sound. Distinct from a banjo and a guitar. Really a nice tone.
Wowzer! That is one beautiful banjo. It sounds wonderful! So warm! Congratulations 😎
Awesome banjo. You deserve it !
Love the 🐔 inlay. Very cool banjo.
Just discovered your channel this week. Your banjo playing puts a smile on my face and brightens my day. You're an excellent human, enjoy your awesome new banjo!
*nods* Excellent human.
"It's a Banjo Channel."
You bet your sweet gizzards it is!
Dr. Phoebe, I love this gourd banjo! It really suits you! ♥♥♥♥♥ Kudos to Jesse!!! Thanks, Jesse, for supplying my favorite Practitioner of Banjo with such a fine instrument! All the best to you!
Great looking instrument and a wonderful mellow tone. What a fantastic addition to your Banjo Barn. No wonder you are so excited! :D
The dear horn armrest is genius
This is the sweetest sounding banjo I have ever heard. You do it justice. It is so easy on my old ears. 👨🏻🦳
There's a little bit of a guitar sound to it. Not woody. Ghourdy?
But I like it.
My father played banjo almost his full 100 years. I was never that fond of the instrument, but I always appreciated his skill on it. Hearing the gourd-head banjo helps me understand why I didn’t love the “drum head” style. I love the sound of your gourd-head banjo!
A wooden inlay doesn't change anything with the sound of the instrument.
But it demonstrates the love and dedication of the luthier which will definitely also have an effect on the sound.
I am really impressed how much time my luthier spent on the inlays of the instruments he built for me.
So, looking at such a beautiful looking and sounding instrument in this video it comes back to my mind.
Love that tone - mellow and rich! And it is so aesthetically beautiful. 💜
Very nice, Phoebe. Your nifty gourd banjo gifty has a light, bright sound with great volume & reverberation."Thank you!" to you & your benefactor.
Henny Penny is gone but not forgotten.
Be Well.
The Osma inlay is amazing oh my goodness!
She's so nice. Always making me happy watching her.
It looks really cool and sounds so warm and sweet.
I am new to your channel and the reason I say that is, I know absolutely nothing about banjos other than out of all the instruments. The banjo is my all time favorite. I'm 60 and when I was knee high to a grasshopper. I would sit and listen to my granddad play and my other granddad play the accordion. When they got together it was so much fun. But when I got much much older I happen to see that banjo at my mom and dad's. That's when my dad told me the history of that banjo. It was my granddads, grandfather's and he played it while at war during the Civil War. The memories just amplified for myself. Sorry long winded comment. What I just meant to come and say. That gore banjo has a amazing sound. Really enjoyed this video.
The clarity of that instrument is INSANE!! and the TONE!!!! WOW... utterly impressed with this entire video, your spirit and your impeccable playing. Amazing!~
What a warm & wonderful sound!!
И, спасибо за отличное вечернее настроение, Фиби! !! :-)
Хорошая память об Озме! Даже лучшая память! :-)))
The world is a much more beautiful place every time I see your face!
Your musical arts delight our hearts!
🎶💜🥰
😍 It sounds so mellow and warm. Very cozy and calm. I love it!!!!
At 78 with 40 yrs frailing experience my fingers are getting stiff and losing more brain cells then I'm replacing its so good to see younger generation stepping up. Banjo is so fun and I have so many great memories through the years .You sound great girl
Super Cool ❤. Thanks for sharing Phoebe. 👍🙂. 😊🕊️
Sounds real good. Sounds very smoot. Very clear.❤😊 Excellent 💯💕
Sweet sound and very natural ... back to the roots in Africa 🙂
The sound of that is so beautiful
buck buck buck Buckee ! the Banjo ! So warm ! Beautiful Instrument ! Bucky the Banjo !
A wonderful instrument!
I think I would name him Bozma.🥰
Phoebe, you make that thing sound good. I admire every one of those handmade banjos, that in your hands become instruments.
Nice sound! Beautiful work, In a world of plastics and composites ...a gourd of all things, Awesome!
Gordon is a good name... 😂
Gordon for a gourd banjo.
Banjo has always been my favorite instrument to listen to. I especially love this one!
It’s nice to see a young musician playing such a unique instrument so well and it’s a beautiful instrument and you play it very beautifully. Keep up the great playing and I’ll keep watching!
What a LOVELY sound! That's just so rich. It almost has autoharp overtones. And I love "Wildflowers".
A name? Bellina!
Wow! That’s beautiful craftsmanship!
please please please stop stressing about the lighting and the camera angle and the mic and the camera angle and the lighting, and did i mention the lighting? ... you and your playing is what im here for, it's somewhat healing.
sorry for if im saying this all wrong.
anyone here for the lighting and camera angle doesn't get why this channel is already great anyways..
thanks Phoebe 🐔💙
I'm glad that you pointed that out. She will mature way past those minor things on her way to a bright future.
I think the wrong part in your wording is to assume that it is "stressing." Sensitive, creative people can feel the little details in things and that's ok and I for one welcome such remarks in these videos if that's what comes to heart. As the other commenter alluded to, nothing need be changed, any little details that are important to them will be ironed out with time, naturally.
@@ma11221
fair enough, maybe i'm the one stressing
I agree that you, Phoebe, don’t need to worry too much about the lighting. The mic, sure, because that’s how we hear you. But, even were you playing in complete darkness, I would listen to those sweet sounds. Music is truly an auditory experience.
@@ma11221
fair enough.. maybe i'm the one stressing
Sounds so beautiful - - lovely tone and well-played!
That is honestly probably the prettiest banjo I’ve ever heard!
Gosh, I just KNOW that Patty Loveless’ version of “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” would sound PHENOMENAL on this banjo!
I love this gourd banjo with the antler, how amazing! It sounds amazing
the sound is between mandolin & classical guitar , that 's very beautiful .
been picking since I was 6years old it's nice to see a young woman playing with the banjo. love the gourd.
Your videos are perfect!
Its really cool to see someone totally passionate about what they do. God be with you!
That's such a nice sounding banjo! And so perfectly in tune too ❤ Thanks for showing it to us, im looking forward to hearing more of it.
Lovely banjo, and great to see you having fun with your instruments, and playing really neat tunes. Keep on picking!
I just got my first banjo yesterday. A friend gifted it to me. Super excited to learn! That banjo is gorgeous! 🥰
GORDON for sure
Cool! Great sound!
Beautiful craftmanship on the guord banjo. You are such a nice person so i am glad you were gifted such a lovely instrument. A genuine person playing a genuine instrument.😊
