Questions about a zyther/banjo
Hi everyone, first a big THANK YOU to this website host for approving my request to becomd a member.
Recently, I bought this zyther/banjo from an estate sale. It is alleged to be from 1900. I do not know the maker and is in a desperate need of repair that I am willing to do. It previous owner did a bad job on it. I would love to share pictures of it before I took it apart and afterwards.
If anyone could help me to upload these picture I would deeply appreciated.

"How is it possible?
Short answer: step by step.
Long answer:
First by reading it through a few times without banjo in hand and getting the sense of the phrases. There is a shape and pattern that makes sense. Then if one has not already…"
"Yeah that's the one. I just don't know how a person would go about playing it. I just didn't know if it was an engraving error or something"
"Do you mean the cadenza in the opening? Pretty standard for HSH varied to have cadenzas. "
"It's playable, you can hear if you run it through Musescore. Var 2 requires some interpretation, but the rest is manageable. It's a beautiful melody. "
Horace Weston
Can we discuss Horace Weston's home sweet home concert variations for a second? How is half of that even possible? See More
"Thanks Marc, Pushing the boundaries of what is possible on banjo is something I always try to do, many of my arrangements in the library reflect this. I'm 76 at the end of this month and using my brain as much as possible will hopefully stop me…"
"Ages ago, I was in New Orleans and got to hear a street band play this. I think you've done a fine job capturing it for the 5-string."
Barnyard Blues..1917..Dominic James La Rocca
This may not strictly be classic banjo but another of my experimental arrangements to see what is possible on the banjo. It was recorded by The New Dixieland Jazz Band (MP3 attached). I took my arrangement from the piano score which took some…See More

"Thanks, Russ!
I tabbed out "Mister Jollyboy" ages ago but don't remember ever working on it. I just looked at my old Tab and it needs reworking to my current standard (easier to read).
"Schaeffer's Jig" does look fun.…"
"I reckon "Mr Jollyboy" covers a lot of the same territory as Banshee and is easier to play. Well it is for me, anyway.Oakley's arrangement of "Schaffers Jig" is fun and comes together quickly.Morley's "A Darkie…"
"Okay, thanks! I've been going through Joels internet archive tutor collection! Great stuff. I loved the harmonica ones too. "
"There is a copy on internet archive plus a wealth of other material that Joel has uploaded."
"Thank you, mate! That was the first classic piece I was able to pick up from your great lesson video! Great tune to get people into the feeling of playing classic style. I play it often! "
