Another good one....er two!   What is the venue?  Just curious.

Yeah, I noticed that it was in Rice tuning.  Do you bring two banjos?  I don't have much range and have a heck of a time.  At my presentation at AEBG, I actually tuned down to F!

Yes - two banjos. Turns out I can sing Keemo better in A; I think the Boucher sounds good in the A/E tuning.

You're right. I haven't tried tuning the Ashborn up to A/E. The scale is a little longer. Nylgut probably wouldn't be a problem, but not sure about gut. It's nice having two banjos for these occasions.
