    I Have a 13" from Jay. I am torn about getting a Boucher from Jim or save and get something a little nicer. I just want one from him (Jim H.) Before he stops making them. How much does your Ashborn differ from the one you got from Jay. I like Terrys stuff...but I swear each time I hear them and mind you this is over a video,..but they sound a little thin and bright. Jim's has a bit of a warmer tone..again Strings and the type of head have something to do with that. You have been to the AEBG and have had a chance to play on the different ones...what do you think?

    Hi Nicholas - the banjo I have from Jay is a modern open-back banjo with steel strings which I use for old-time Clawhammer. Here's a video http://youtu.be/08N2fxt6dbw
