++Banjo time!++
This feels a bit sacriligious and also hypocritical putting this post up!
But in the spirit of broad mindedness.
I own a Banjo uke that I was fortunate enough to be given. I was all excited at first as it turned out to be 1930's John Grey and when the 'ker-ching' sound in my head had worn off I discovered that it weren't worth an awful lot!
Then the guilt hit and I felt bad! So lately I've been trying to give it a go.
It doesn't play easily and it does sound better with a proper Uke thin plectrum (from this jolly nice fella) which is also usually against my religion (but having seen the UOGB recently where nearly the whole troup used them, my ideas are slightly changed.) I've put some cheap and cheerful strings on (again, very nice man here...) and it's in working order, kinda.
Anyroad, take a look if you like and let me know. The piece isn't up to much but sounds appropriate..
