Antique Banjo -- BRITISH MADE
This video showcases an antique British-made banjo, highlighting its unique blend of Old and New World craftsmanship. The presenter details its restoration, including the addition of contemporary rosewood tuners, an antique maple bridge, and La Bella No. 17 nylon strings for a classic banjo sound. The description also touches on the banjo's surprisingly bright, loud, and punchy tone, attributing it partly to the spun-over ash rim. The video's intro music is identified as 'On the Road Somewhere,' a tune learned from George Gibson and related to the Carter and Ralph Stanley bluegrass hit 'I've Got a Mule to Ride.'
