That is one fantastic banjo! I met Bob when he brought that banjo to TN for the setup by Kyle Smith. I got to pick on it for just a short but but the tone of that banjo will absolutely raise the hair on your neck when you hear it in person!
Bob, the owner of this fine instrument, is a really great guy. One of those people you consider a friend very shortly after meeting.

Bryan Looney I agree. I was able to play the banjo as well. It has a tone that you will remember for a lifetime. I hope to get to see Bob and play it again soon.

Hey Bryan, great video! I loved it! What a fantastic banjo! I really loved its midrange notes! Beautiful instrument and unique one of a kind RB5. Thanks for posting

[@bryanhaywood1]

Thanks. It is a special banjo. I really like the videos you have posted of yours. Especially of Justin George and Charlie Cushman.

I have played that banjo a few times. The owner, Bob, came for a visit and he played my RB75 and my RB 4 while I played his 5. It is outstanding: very easy to finger and the notes explode from it.

Of course Jim is great as always, but who is that fantastic fiddle player with him. Wow

[@bryanhaywood1]

Robin18us that’s Nathan Aldridge. Formerly of the group Sideline, Nathan is now the fiddle player for Russell Moore and IIIRD Tyme Out.
