    Hi Paul thanks, it is not only great looking but has its history written into its entire surface. I have uploaded a story with the pictures to explain its origin, but in brief it was bought by the grandfather of a friend who is in his 70's at least, to go India and keep him amused for the journey.  So it has definitely been to India and back at least.  Now all I have to do is learn how to play it.  :)

    funny when i saw your name in my email it sounded familiar. my son Jens Lawaetz was in country day in the eighties. i've played banjo most of my adult years, but mostly concentrated on guitar, so i never got that good. i love the sound of clawhammer, but mostly i'm a picker, not blue grass, slower, rythmic, melodic. when the gourd i purchased from ebay comes in.. the neck is started. thanks for writing
