<p>Hi all!,</p>
<p>Long time of my presence here. I have a small project for this 2018: I would like to give a small homage to S.S Stewart, considering this year is the 120th anniversary of his death. Therefore, I am planing to record some tunes of his creation, in the way of a recital (virtual recital, actually).</p>
<p>But, in the process I figured out an idea you might be interested...Why not a orchestral (a virtual one) recording of these tunes?, just as the meetings of the ABF or another…</p>
<p>Hi all!,</p>
<p>Long time of my presence here. I have a small project for this 2018: I would like to give a small homage to S.S Stewart, considering this year is the 120th anniversary of his death. Therefore, I am planing to record some tunes of his creation, in the way of a recital (virtual recital, actually).</p>
<p>But, in the process I figured out an idea you might be interested...Why not a orchestral (a virtual one) recording of these tunes?, just as the meetings of the ABF or another banjo rallies. I think it could be a funny way to interact ourselves, considering these kind of videos (each one playing a part) are really popular right now. Some basic apps such as Acapella Maker are used for this kind of videos, allowing the recording of tunes to musicians that do not live in the same city/country/continent. </p>
<p>The problem? I do not know anything about orchestration, but it could be a nice challenge for someone who might be interested.</p>
<p>Of course, there are online ensembles with other tunes. I know the ABF have some tunes for several banjos, and I guess there must be plenty of these scores to play in this website. But for now, the Stewart´s anniversary could be a good excuse to start...we have a said in Spanish "para hacer algo, cualquier excusa"</p>
<p></p>
<p>Let me know if someone might be interested!</p>

<p>German </p> Strings for a Stewart Banjeaurinetag:classic-banjo.ning.com,2012-09-29:2667446:Topic:620392012-09-29T14:51:46.284ZAndy Alexishttps://classic-banjo.ning.com/profile/AndyAlexis
<p>(adapted from a similar post on banjo hangout):</p>
<p>I recently took possession of a beautiful S S Stewart banjeaurine. It hasn't been played much for at least 40 years; it was set up with steel strings; the neck looks ok. However, it was tuned way down, perhaps to A. </p>

<p>I put some nylguts on it, thinking that would be better for the neck, esp. considering that it needs to be tuned up to C. I also wanted to have a banjeau just for classic pieces. However, I've had issues with intonation; I think I need a compensated bridge, and a bridge with bigger slots so the strings won't pop out of the slots.</p>

<p>I have been tempted to try the steel strings again; what have others done with these old banjeaus?</p>
<p><br/> I'll try and get some photos up.</p>
