the Cuckoo - Two Finger Style Banjo

New year, new banjo! I always wanted to add a mountain banjo to my collection and last week I finally got the chance. I was a bit scared for the 27" scale length initially, but it turns out to be very comfortable for fretless playing.
I recorded this tune with my band Reminder back in 2018. Check it out:

Well done, Jelle! Just curious, did Leon Ballard make your banjo?

[@JelSnel]

Thanks! Yes, he did. I didn't buy it from him directly though, it popped up on an online marketplace

[@lucymarch202]

I thought so. I have a minstrel banjo he made. He does beautiful work, no?@@JelSnel
