Can anyone give me some pointers on re-stringing this type of zither banjo so that the strings don't slip. I haven't used this type before. Thanks. For some reason it is uploading sideways!…Continue

Hello banjo friends - would anyone be kind enough to share the music score for Ballad No.1 by A.D Cammeyer. I have a plectrum tab but want to see the original sheet music to check fingering. Thanks.Continue

The 'search by composer' in 'Music Library' is showing the composers in a random order rather than alphabetical. It may be a temporary glitch.Continue

I'm looking for suggestions for nylon strings in medium gauge. Andy Banjo has run out of stock (and closing down at end of month). I bought some CE strings but they seem squeakier than usual. Do…Continue

A different version of Ragging the Scale than the one in the Original Recordings library marked as Van Eps Banjo Orchestra. I wonder who the other musicians were - sounds like plectrum or tenor banjo.

hI Carrie , I realized after I asked you ,but that would be great . my email is jazzman3@btinternet.com
Thank you Carrie. I have put it in my learning folder.Have you tried zither banjo schottische .The tab is in library under David Wade nice tune and not to hard to play .
Hi Carrie,
I have really enjoyed playing stroke style from the Briggs' book on my tackhead but I'm finding the classic style much more satisfying, even at this very early stage. I'm taking it very slowly, working from 'Ellis's Thorough School' and as I'm retired, I have plenty of time to practice. I really do appreciate your offer of help.
If you, or any fellow players live near me and might fancy meeting up occasionally, please message me. I live near Eastbourne, East Sussex. I also travel to Oxfordshire every couple of weeks for a camping weekend so I could make a brief detour.
Best wishes, Ian.
Hi Carrie.
I started a msg to you, but my finger hit a button somewhere...away it went. You mentioned you liked City Point Jig. If you would like a copy I can send it or post it on this site somewhere. It's in "A" notation. Clarke
Thanks for the kind words, Carrie! I'm really enjoying getting to know this music so far!
Howdy Carrie, nice to meet you on Saturday, you should have done a couple of tunes for us, I cant stop myself from playing, I guess I am an old ham ! cheers, Nick.
