I just restrung my old Ode Longneck for the upcoming Mill Around the Village www.millaroundthevillage.com/ festival to be held in Swannanoa NC this weekend. I know they will have a band there, but no one said I couldn't bring my banjo!
I got this Ode in 1986 or so from a fellow in Virginia, or rather my ex got it from him and gave it to me for my birthday. It is a fine banjo, open backed, but with an arched tone rim that rings a little too loud for clawhammer. Had to do some work on the neck, and no I am not a repairman, though I do build dulcimers, and finally got the action to approach the way I want it. The neck had evidently been stepped on at some point, and I managed to get it back together with judicious use of epoxy and alternate paryer and cussing.
Also have a traditional Appalachian style banjo made by a fellow from Newland. Looks very old, and most people don't even know what it is until I start playing it.
Hopethe show is a success, as i am selling silver wire jewelry there Saturday!
