From Zischkale on 8/4/2014 5:54:26 AM

So I've got two days in town this week, then I'm off to Alaska! Hoping to take the banjo along--hoping to take the thing as a carry-on.

What're y'all working on this week? I've been drilling everything I know, to try and work up a good repertoire, but have also been trying to get down Walt Koken's version of Chinquapin Pie, from the tab book he released last year. Modal tune, sort of thing that might sound good up in Yukon territory...not that I'll be literally in Yukon territory, but y'know.

	Zischkale says: 8/15/2014 8:08:23 AM Hey thanks for the compliment! Shoot, they're fun to play, I'd like to get around to making a couple more, and improve on the design. The one in the videos is pretty rudimentary, I didn't even round the neck, so it's mostly a big rectangular block of wood. They're a little quiet, I'm looking to set the next one up for amplification.
