Hi folks:
I'm starting to fool around with one of those old Harmony banjos with the bakelite rim and resonator. I know some of you all are secretly into these as well....
What sort of setup have you done on yours that you liked best? I'll be using this as a frailing banjo. I told my wife we could use the resonator as a salad bowl as well.
I'm not planning to sink any money into this one, but I do have some extra parts around to choose from:
skin head -vs- plastic head?
tension tailpiece -vs- no-knot type?
Let me know what you have done....
Thanks!
Chris
