<p>On page 37 there is a newspaper clipping containing a sentence which in a subordinate clause causally mentions that the Czar of Russia plays the 5 string banjo! What?? Can that be true?</p>

<p>Anthony, on page 13 you say that the English 7 string banjo had at least one of its strings doubled. I assume that means that 2 of its 7 strings were tuned to the same pitch. Which strings were those please? Were they consecutive strings? And if so, were the notches for these strings on the bridge and nut placed close together as a double course ?</p>

<p>I just scanned the thesis...amazing amount of work, dedication, etc. Well done Anthony!</p>
<p>As an American, I found the grammar and spelling conventions interesting. We typically capitalize genre like "Bluegrass" and it is one word (to differentiate it from "blue grass or bluegrass", which is something upon which one would use a lawnmower).</p>

<p>As an American, I found the grammar and spelling conventions interesting. We typically capitalize genre like "Bluegrass" and it is one word (to differentiate it from "blue grass or bluegrass", which is something upon which one would use a lawnmower).</p>
<p>"Classic" vs "Classical": while I'm sure we're all on board with "classic" here, I think it is too generic and without a shred of descriptive nuance. These days people speak of "Classic Bluegrass Banjo" (Scruggs, etc.) and "Classic Melodic Banjo" (Keith, Trishka, etc.) and probably Classic Punk Banjo. Unfortunately "Classic Banjo" simply has no meaning for anyone but us...and we're left explaining over and over and over, <em>ad nauseum</em>.</p>
<p>We had some friends over a week ago (they forced me to play) and I used, "<span style="margin: 0px; color: #222222; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Belle Époque Banjo</span>"...the wife immediately got it. "Victorian Era Banjo" also seems to make sense to non-music people.</p>
