"Many thanks.
I'm very happy to buy the tablature sheet music if it exists anywhere. I used to buy mine from Clifford Essex but can only find material on Ebay these days which doesn't include these two pieces. If there are books or…"

Dear All. As noted in my previous post, I play a modern 5-string Goldtone Cello banjo which I have arbitrarily tuned to E and absolutely love it. The 14 inch head gives the instrument a loud and…Continue

One of my favourite banjos is a 5-string Goldtone cello banjo tuned down to E. I'm getting ready to change the nylon strings on this banjo, but have to admit these strings have been on the instrument…Continue

"If you accept my friend request that will allow me to message you and attach pdfs. I did Albumblatt as well - just the solo banjo parts.I'm in Perth Western Australia, so I've just woken up."
"Sorry, a bit late to the dance. You might check with Rob MacKillop. He's played both on Youtube and it is possible he published them in one of his books. Alternatively, Clifford Essex music has many titles still available.
I have tab for both…"

"Hi Marc, Joel.
Thank you both for responses to my question on the cello banjo. At the other end of the scale is the so-called Giraffe banjo or banjorette that seems to have been a novelty instrument with a very small [5 inch ?] head. Again I…"
"The Gold Tone cello banjo is not exactly what they represent it to be. It is really a tenor banjo with a 5th string added.
By "tenor banjo" I mean it based on a Gibson tenor cello banjo (one octave below the tenor banjo). This…"
"Originals are fairly rare...they were never built in large numbers. I was told there are only around a dozen Stewart CBs known to still exist. Part of the problem is that they're typically relegated to playing simple bass lines..no solos.…"
"Thanks for sharing photographs of your banjo collection - superb !!.
I also found your video on the internet last night showing you playing your S S Stewart cello banjo. It's an impressive instrument for sure. I wonder why cello banjos…"
"I own and play an ~1895 S.S.Stewart CB. One of my favorite instruments."
Cello Banjos Today
Dear All. As noted in my previous post, I play a modern 5-string Goldtone Cello banjo which I have arbitrarily tuned to E and absolutely love it. The 14 inch head gives the instrument a loud and melodic tone. I have always wondered what happened to all the original cello banjos that were made in the early 1900s and I assumed tuned an octave below the normal G tuning ? Does anyone own and play a vintage 4-string or 5-string cello banjo or are they all in museums or private collections…See More
"Hi Jody.
Samuel mixed up the program with the classical piece [only one] in the middle. His set was only 45 minutes with quite a bit of talking between each piece. "
"In that case perhaps the frequent string changing was to always have the required sustain and "body" for some of the classical repertoire. Did he mix up the program? Or first play the classical pieces and then wear out the strings…"
"And I've heard it said that the Gitano flamenco players also have used fishing line for the treble strings. In this case, the reason was to save money. "
