[Dixielandjazz] Six String Banjos

[Stephen Barbone]

List mates:

Given the 6 string banjo interest, the following web sites will be of
interest to those who wonder about 1) music for it, and 2) design,
tuning and where to get a good one.

Tune it like a guitar. The two extra strings give it added bass and if a
horn man is unlucky enough to have only a banjo in a duo, the added bass
helps put a bottom there. Better than nothing, but not as good as a trio
with a bass.

Cheers,
Steve (hate to work duos) Barbone
