Nice job on that Darlin Cora tune. And great looking banjo. Do you grow your own gourds, or are you able to source them from somewhere?

[@bengreco]

Thanks! I've grown one gourd before but now that I live in an apartment I source them all from Wellburn Gourd Farm in southern California. They have extremely thick shelled gourds which are preferred by most people for banjo making, but I was just talking to a guy who makes tawitóls, which are Aztec instruments, and he says the thin shelled gourds resonate much better, so I'm looking for a place to get thinner shelled gourds now to test that out

[@dustyoldbanjo]

@@bengreco oh wow, that gourd farm is only an hour from me. That's a great lead, as I want to get into making some banjos for myself.

[@bengreco]

@@dustyoldbanjo aweome! yeah it's really fun place to visit too, and a beautiful drive in through the santa ana's

[@kevinroth6592]

Did you have heartburn while you filmed this

[@bengreco]

yes but sometimes you have to just power through
