Not everyone likes Zither Banjos!!!

Here is an article from a 1904 BMG magazine... Perhaps we should start a bonfire?

I have been going back through all of the BMGs to try and unravel Grimshaw's wire first and what that is all about. About 1917 (I'll have to go back and look) a similar article is written which sets off a monthly back and forth about how great/terrible the zither banjo is.

I'm in the "meh" camp. If that is what you like then Cammeyer our brains out.
