[Dixielandjazz] Traditional Jazz (Banjo or guitar)

[dwlit at cpcug.org]

I have a plectrum Triolian, a couple of (tenor) Triolians, and a Tricone.
They all sound different (the tenor T's sound basically the same)

Between piano, banjo, and the metal Nationals, I enjoy playing my recently
acquired Plectrum Triolian the most. And indeed it does cut through like a
katana through a lemon merangue (sp) pie while remaining mellow.
