<p>I don't know the logic behind it. All I have done is relay the explanation that was given by TBJ himself.</p>

<p>I must say, these recordings are indeed a delight! The clarity TBjnr gets is exceptional...helps that this is a very clear recording.</p>
<p>I think TBjnr put that armrest there because he tended to nervously chew the top edge of his banjo before going on stage... ;-)</p>

<p>Actually, neither do I. I understand protecting a vellum from sweat. But why not simply refrain from putting your arm across the banjo head when bowing? There are so many ways the banjo can be held during a bow, ways that do not require an armrest. Meanwhile during actual playing TBJ's right hand fingers are all over the vellum. He has a shirt and a jacket over the arm so that will absorb any sweat from the lower arm. I suppose maybe his palms were sweaty but not his fingers?…</p>

Maybe avoiding getting sweat on the part of the vellum near the rim is more likely to cause a split than sweat near the center of the head? I'm with Marc. I still don't get it. <br/> <br/> <cite>marc dalmasso said:</cite></p>

<p>Marc, there is an explanation for the armrest position. TBJ told my friend Eli Kaufman that he (TBJ) had really sweaty hands when he played on stage. He put the armrest there because when he took a bow after playing he would put his arm across the banjo and that kept his wet hand off of the skin head.</p>
