<p>I've wanted one since I was 15 and played my first one (the treble strings sounded just like a woman's voice singing and I never forgot it), and then even more when I played the Webb Brothers original five string 20+ years ago at Gruhn's.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Seeing this at the price it was available for a few days ago, I made a decision that 2 Regals for me for now is enough, and the white van just dropped it off this afternoon while William Ball was playing for me.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Exactly the configuration/version I wanted, complete, direct from under the original deceased owner's bed, but will have to wait a while before I can make the proper neck for it, though the laminated curly maple and ebony striped billet I glued up 3 years ago in anticipation of today's arrival is sitting next to my workbench.</p>
<p></p>
<p>SO....I'm out of the running on this Regal, and Joel, I sure hope you are wrong and that someone here gets it and will put it into the proper service it was meant to work under. </p>
<p></p>

<p>Merci, Marc....Great info on the banjos....the cellos are big!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Ok, the cylinder is a bell solo, not banjo, this is why I didn't recognize it.....that's a GREAT duet arrangement....I really like it....I imagine a bit of time to arrange that duet.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have several old records like that of piccolo and yes, even bell solos, and some band ones that I keep to someday do what you did with Hop Scotch.</p>
<p></p>
<p>That's really great stuff......</p>

<p></p>
<p>I love how Remi's Regal sounds and projects in the upper register...very bell like and clear yet full.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Marc, is that a Windsor Premier you are playing with 5th peg in peghead? What is the large fretless banjo behind Remi on screen right?</p>
<p></p>
<p>You mentioned "Hop Scotch" is from a wax cylinder????? I've not known this tune I don't think and unaware of this recording....what record company/label and catalog number and artist/player is it????? I would love to have a transcription/copy of it.</p>
<p></p>
<p>That is a very nice tune and you both play it so well together and Regal sounds great!</p>
