will ... showin' us how it sounds ...
my son will has finished his fourth banjo. he's an excellent player, so he's experimenting with different wood combinations, and detail tweaking, looking for that elusive 'perfect sound' that he knows is oout there. this one sounds pretty good. the half fretless thing allows the player to 'slide' notes from one to the other, giving the banjo an interesting, different kind of sound. there is a short audio/video here and larger photos and more discriptive text on my dorset cstom furniture blog as well as links to construction details and will's banjo website.
will's a great furniture maker but i can see the passion really rise when the banjo stuff comes out.
