<p>Sadly, no. Too much goin on round home with the little guy. Have to pick and choose events carefully this year. I'm headed to a "mainstreamer" local event with my dad at the end of April, just to get out. Might go to Hopewell Furnace in the Fall to do civilian. <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Dan'l said:…</cite></p>

<p>HI Dan'l!</p>
<p>Been a viewer/occasional poster on the AC Board for many years. It was going to the Music Forum that got me to thinking more about exploring a different period instrument. I have a Cooperman drum that's, as one fella put it, a great instrument built well, but not authentic - which is very true considering the weight and feel of it compared to an original.

<p>I've really enjoyed reading through discussions here, watching videos and really just taking it all in. You all are dedicated, knowledgable group and I look forward to learning with and through you all!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>There a few of us who came to Minstrel Banjo through the hobby of reenacting, though that is not the focus here (for that see authentic-campaigner.com or cwreenactors.com, the music threads). But boy, did you find the right spot to learn the style and advice and sources for a good instrument! ... take an hour or so and search to find those topics in the old threads first.</p>
