When I designed this instrument, I really though that most people would want it tuned in open c, a high tuning that matches its smaller size. But, its been far more poplar in open g, standard banjo tuning, with heavier strings. It really has found a place amongst people who need a smaller or lighter banjo because of physical issues in particular. Yes, the small size can’t produce the same volume as a big banjo, but it is a beautiful and rich tone that does cut through the mix. This one features amber stained curly maple from the Carpenter Ant stash, ball shoes, a brass arm rest, a goat skin head and pistachio from California orchards.
