"Judith, I decided to tune your old Bell down two "frets" to cGCEG so that I have a second banjo to help with a couple songs that I can barely reach with my voice. I have the same problem though I'm guessing you always used that…"

"I'd buy it for $400. I've been tempted to try something other than my Sweeney which is difficult to play beyond what would be the 8th or 9th fret."
