Oddbean new post about login | logout Today I learned that there are all kinds of different sizes of banjo... including a double bass banjo... look at that thing! I assume the deeper in the haller you go the bigger the banjos are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3ddgNNsuSY
@134318c2 Dang, thats a beefy banj. If you're not familiar, you should check out Rhiannon Giddens! She does a lot of music and musical history work from the Black rural south, including a lot of stuff with older banjo styles that have fallen out of regular use. My #1 go-to on all things banjo. https://youtu.be/RiP8Tfa8bB8?si=lfejfXqaEqBYfpYn
@134318c2 I found the banjo Béla is playing (a baritone, which is also very unusual), it's a signature model, but not something I've ever seen him play before..but, he has had several signature models over the years. Identifying the bass banjo is proving more challenging. https://banjo.com/product/gold-tone-ml-1-missing-link-bela-fleck-bariton-banjo/
