Seeger

[Ray Jones]

Hi Gang
I was watching the Pete Seeger interviews recently by Tim Robbins. I noticed that Pete had a most unusual Bridge on his banjo. It seemed to have a couple of little 'outriggers' on it. This gave it four points of contact on the vellum. Can anyone tell me anything about it. I've never seen one before.

This topic has come up on the Banjo Hangout. Apparently it was designed and made by Stu Jamieson out of printed circuit board material. At one time someone posted a link to an article on it and plans to make one. I can't find it.

Thanks for that info Deuces. A good close up shot. I'll have to dust off the old Hegner and see if I can make one. Pete Seeger must know something that we don't, about accustic conductivity. Regards Ray
