Real nice Steve, but pardon my ignorance.  What does half shaved tack head fretlees banjo mean?  Loved the tune and the rendition, though.  Great sounding instrument.--Rob

That looks like a longish scale- just curious- what's the scale on that banjer Steve, to the middle of the head?

Comment by Steve Jeter on March 27, 2013 at 12:38pm

25 3/16  nut to bridge, seems to sound best there.

Oh, so it's not as long a scale as I thought.  Thanks!

Again- i love how you played this....sounds wonderful.

That sounded sweet, man I could picture some holler up in the mountains, with a few shanty's stron about and hearing that music drifting across the holler. Just like out of some movie. Nice Steve!
