Show your Banjos

You went all fancy on me! I'll go see what fancy ones I can dig up.
I’ve got a dusty heirloom…mostly a wallhanger…but I clean it up now and then, and attempt to fumble around with it.
No fancy gears here…
The original skin was sadly replaced with the Remo head about 25 years ago…it leaned in a corner at my grandmother’s house throughout my life. She said that she had received it when her uncle had passed. Now it hangs here with me.

Me neither.
I have a pretty badass vintage resonator from my grandpa, but no banjo.
I wish I knew more about banjos. As a mostly metal dude, there have been some interesting things that banjos have done for the genre. I'm thinking primarily about Brent Hinds in regards to banjo technique and style being applied to heavy music, guitar in particular.

I played around with one once, had someone that knew how showing me what to do and it was fun, but not an instrument I would want to invest in.

Looks like you tried to hit reply, missed, and tried to fix it.
Duplicate/double post?

While I have almost completely cut alcohol out of my intake.....I have had several beverages this evening.
I will go ahead and blame it on that.
LOL!
Well played sir!
That baby would be getting a new skin head stat!
Also some Nylgut strings.
Yeah, there's alot of potential to do different things with the banjo if you're creative, I like playing slide on it too.

I was tempted to post of pic of the fire pit in my yard but I'll spare you my juvenile humor.
Back in the aughts a manager I worked for - huge bluegrass fan - gave me a banjo neck. Years after that I gave it to my buddy who used to build acoustic guitars. I suspect its still sitting on a shelf there.
The last man I worked for was - again - a huge bluegrass and similar fan - String Dusters, Billy Strings, etc.
The Universe may be trying to tell me something but nah nah nah!
Recently a saw a metalish band - Shunned at a Funeral - who has a banjo played. Never thought it would work.
