Tim's Kangas Banjo-Head

Thanks Tim - um, it was actually the peg head I wanted to see. (I should have made myself clearer)

But this is nice too!

Say, that's a great looking 'jo!  Good work to the builder, and you for getting it.

 

Have you played with bridge placement?  In George's setup workshop, we discussed how the center bridge placement is the "tubbiest."  

 

I love the hardware and the "Iron band."

No worries. But it sure would like nice at my house.

I don't think i would have bid on it had i not played it at the Motor City Banjo gathering. It is such a fine instrument....responsive to every nuance. Solid! I played it for a whole set in Jackson Saturday at the muster....worked great.
