I'm a #guitartech, I've worked under many people, worked for Guitar Center, and had my own shop for a time. I still do it on the side these days & I'm always happy to give advice. I've worked on everything with strings that isn't a classical instrument.

I #DIY a lot because I often find cookie cutter or off the shelf solutions to be lacking. I'm often seen making or modifying some thing to better fit my use cases.

I don't have anything new for #BandcampFriday, but if anyone is interested in my album of instrumental music, mainly fiddle tunes, played by celtic musicians Saskia Tomkins, Steafan Hannigan, here's the link:

There are also three books of fiddle tune sheet music on the merch page.

I've never built an instrument but my dream as a middle school kid was to go to William and Mary and study violin making. Then I missed out on the same damn dream a decade later when I lived in Boston when I could have spent time at North Bennet Street School doing the same thing! I've bought and rebuilt four or five banjos though, replaced skin heads and all that, I really need to learn how to take the bow out of a neck though. I can't get to the 14th fret of my favorite banjo without bleeding.
If I could fix necks maybe I could do that as a part time job if I ever retire! What a great idea!
Thanks for this conversation, I've enjoyed it immensely!

I live on a ridge above my town in #AppalachianOhio. That's Kentucky you see in the yonder.

In the spring and fall I go out on our porch and play my #banjo. You can hear it in the distance. I joke that I live on stage above of our village. We've had a couple good days lately. More coming.

Usually "Walter White," who lives in the RV below us and has for several years, will come out of his RV and play his #guitar. It sounds like we are sitting next to each other.

I haven't seen Walter White or Jesse Pinkman, nor heard their coon dogs, over the winter. Maybe because the winter has been cold. I wonder if they will return. I hope so.

Old photo. Would've taken a new one today but the windows are too dirty. lol.

RV in a lot, setup as a homestead.

I knew that Pete Seeger (re-) popularised the #banjo, as part of the 'folk revival' and that he regretted using the Old Time gCGBD tuning in his book because Bluegrass made gDGBD the 'new standard'. I learned last night that the tuning he used has the intervals that slaves brought from Africa. CGBD was the original jazz tuning too, before tenors tuned in fifths took over.
