- 25k!!!!! Craziness! I'm so grateful for all of you, and I hope I can keep on growing and getting better and better! I hope you enjoyed meeting all of my banjos in a row. I know it was a bit of a long rambly video, but I just get so excited talking about my banjos and showing them off haha. If you particularly liked any of the banjos and want to see more of them in the future, let me know in the comments!
Bozma the gourd banjo was made by Jesse Head! If you want to check out his other work (he makes lots of cool gourd/wood instruments) and maybe get a banjo of your own, you can find him at his website jesseheadnaturalluthiership.com/ and follow him on instagram at / head_jesse
Bruce was made by Bruce Berry Banjos! Check out Bruce Berry Banjos at these links: website- bruceberrybanjos.wordpress.com/ youtube- www.youtube.com/ @bruceberrybanjos5757 instagram- / bruceberrybanjos
And the snazzy Zero Gravity Banjo strap is from Cable Free Guitar, who you can find here- www.cablefreeguitar.com/colle...
I got my panjo from Coal Mountain Panjo! Here's their website! coalmountainpanjo.myecrater.com/

"A bad banjo is better than no banjo at all!" Never truer words were said.
Indeed!
I never considered myself a "banjo enjoyer" until I randomly clicked on one of your videos and your sweet and engaging personality won me over. I have said this before and it bears repeating: you are a breath of fresh air. Congratulations on 25K, and best wishes 🎉❤
"Banjo Joe" was made by the Harmony Co. in Chicago. They sold it with lots of different names on the headstock, but it was known as their "Reso-Tone" model, made from moulded Bakelite, an early form of plastic, very hard and brittle. I have one with the optional resonator back, also in Bakelite. I have softened the tone by using nylon strings, and I think it stands up very well in comparison with "grander" banjos. Thank you for the video - very entertaining, and good luck with your channel for the future.
Proud to be one of the 25.6K. Trying to teach myself banjo after decades of guitar playing. Thanks for being here!
It's never a dull moment at Phoebe's Banjo Bungalow. Chickens outside, house plants inside and top notch banjo playing all around!
Heres to 25k more
Thanks Phoebe. I know you love your banjos and I think they love you too.
Bilbo’s bridge may be in the wrong place, throwing it out of tune up the neck. Easy fix.
Phoebe is so cool.
Thank you so much for taking us along on your journey. Thank you for not over-editing. You demonstrate excellence over perfection.
Absolutely correct, Tracie.
Thanks!
Go phoebe, go phoebe, we all love you❤️❤️
Joe buzz, bilbolele, Bertie (indian head nickel), Buzzy, Bixby the fretless, Bartholomew, Bozma (ohh, how the low notes ring!), Bernice the "whistle head" panjo, and Bruce all well represented...no socks and proud of it, we are content with you,
Blessings and Shalom in Him
I always find myself with a smile on my face when I watch your videos! Thanks! :)
Despite the electrical banjo... you've made me smile.
You have such a bright and charming personality. I love your banjo playing, but your videos are more than mere playing. I, too, have been when 1,500 followers were a wow. I wow with you at the awesome 25,000 mark. Maybe many are like me, drawn to your next, always unique video post.
25K subscribers! Congratulations! When you hit 30K you'll need to be sure to include more chickens in the 30K-Special! Woot! Woot! Banjos!
Cool girl
I don't know what draws me to your videos the most. Is it your soul nourishing music? Maybe your quirky, peace generating personality? The safe-space homey feel of your background settings? Likely it's the whole recipe and includes secret ingredients I can sense but not quite name. Anyway, thank you. Please keep nourishing life and creating a virtual environment of joy for us to rest in.
This is a wonderful comment and I agree, a soul refreshing place.
😊😊😊
I feel like an old-timer, I remember when five of those banjos arrived.
Party on Phoebe
Banjo enjoyer soon to be banjo player here! Been playing guitar for 25 years and your videos inspired me to finally pick up a banjo as I have always been curious. Ordered a Vangoa and it’s out for delivery today! Cheers to 25k subs!🎉
So entertained here, thank you Phoebe. I like how you don't edit out the odd bits...it feels live and genuine. Here's to 50K 🎉
From Bruce to Bruce love the tone. Great great great. I can send socks. God Bless.
On your first banjo, I took the liberty of taking a screen shot of the soundboard, did some research, and found out some stuff about it.
It's a low end banjo manufactured from Harmony parts with a REMO WeatherKing head. It was manufactured in Chicago, probably in the late 1960s or 1970s.
Congratulations on 25K, it feels like it was just the 10k special not that long ago! Love your videos!
I am a part of the banjo, enjoy yours also an avid lover of chickens. I love the fact that after watching your content, I always leave with a smile and a lighthearted feeling makes my day better!
My first banjo was a 1960s Sears, kind of like your Chicago but made of wood. A friend was given it when he was a child, but he never did anything with it… so he gave it to me.
You should buy a violin too. One can never have too many instruments!
I love that bango with the deer antler arm rest, it sound super soft but still rings the nots out loud enough. It's just nice.
I've never been crazy about banjo, folk, bluegrass etc. but it's way more tolerable to me the way you present and deliver, and, of course, *play* it!😃
Well done, the town I grew up in had less than 25k. That's a lot of people. So how many hats ?
What a great lunch break! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Congratulations, and no doubt more people will arrive. 25k is quite a lot already for a non-Bluegrass banjo channel, at least judging by the other people I follow - must be on account of your astute supplementary targeting of the hat and chicken demographics. Thanks for all the fun, Phoebe. 🎩🐔🪕🙂
Hi Phoebe
Enjoyed that one. Thank you.
I _do_ want a kazoo tour! It'll show me that I'm not the only one with a lot of kazoos-or maybe that I grossly underestimate what constitutes a lot.
I love the old Chicago those were really cheap back in the 50's 60's The old bakelite pot on those things crack really easy. good wall hanger anyway.
The Ohm is a nice player and a decent banjo all around. Vangoa would play better with light gauge steel strings. I love all of your instruments and love watching you play them all Thanks for sharing all your treasures, Fail on.
Remember 'The Sky is the Limit! " We will see you in concert someday... One of my very favorite banjo players is Abigail Washburn, I listened to her interview many years ago on MPR and listened to her play banjo and sing in Chinese. It was absolutely wonderful! I recently saw her perform with Wu Fei in Minneapolis Minnesota. So, many Blessings, I have been sharing your page with friends.
Thumbs 👍 well done you deserve it.
I had to chuckle at the socks in the head. I worked with an amazing banjo player back in the early 90's. He would occasionally slide an AA battery right behind his bridge and it would get a cool sound. I think ultimately we turned a cylindrical slug that would slide in a little better with his bridge. He always hand carved his bridges... I know there are a ton of mutes out there to experiment with, but something as simple as an AA battery can be fun.
true story on the not knowing lifes turns. You got there with the herd of banjos because playing is a constant joy in your life. I bet there's a sound track in your head to. Musician life :)
Congratulations on reaching 25K! Thanks for the tour of your banjos! Great show!
I found your channel by accident after stumbling upon your Fretless Friday videos! I recently picked up a fretless mountain banjo and have been attempting to learn clawhammer. Its been a lot of fun so far! I play the Cajun accordion and have never been very good when trying out stringed instruments, but I'm getting better every day. Your channel is full of positivity and good music, and I've enjoyed watching it grow so far. Congrats on the 25k, and keep being you!
Let’s gooooo. This channel is an island of peace and joy.
Great celebration❣️ Thank you Phoebe❣️❣️❣️❣️🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕
I myself started out as a bass player and then i bought myself a guitar and played that alot too, then i bought a banjo and git obsessed, i only have 1 banjo, but I have 4 basses, 5 electric guitars, 5 acoustic guitars, 4 ukuleles, 3 mandolins, 3 balalaikas, 2 accordians, 1 drum set and 1 mouth harp. But im glad to say that you have inspired me to start with the banjo again ❤️ You have realy quickly become my absolute favorit chanel by far. Never stop with what you love to do and keep on going with your chanel and your banjos ❤
I actually really like the sound of Buzzy. It's not an unpleasant buzz and gives it a distorted feel that's cool.
your banjo collection is awesome and you are truly adorable, thanks for the good vibes.
I really like the sound of Bruce. And I love the fretless banjo. Thanks for sharing all your banjos.
The octagonal fretless one is wonderful.
Congrats on 25K! Y'know ... that 100K plaque would look real nice up there ...
Bartholomew was my favorite, by far. Excellent banjo which inspires you to your best playing.
25!!! 🫂🫂
Ooh, I like the sound of Bertie!
You made ol' Banjo Joe sound pretty good.
Oh, let's hear more whistling (16:20)!
Living the dream! Great video and it's so nice to meet your children!
I just got my first banjo a couple months ago! Ive been playing guitar for about 10years and I love banjo so much!
Now I don't feel so bad with eight guitars, one banjo and one ukulele in my house. Stringed instruments seem to like to grow families. And my cheapest guitar is my favorite! Congrats on 25K, Phoebe! I always enjoy your videos. If you're here for the first time, CLICK SUBSCRIBE so Phoebe can get that plaque (and more money).
Proud to be one of Phoebe’s warriors. Loved all the banjos especially the gourd one a very beautiful noise. Keep on believing in yourself
Congratulations, once again, Dr. Phoebe on your 25,000 subscribers! What a fun banjo tour! I am really liking the Gourd banjo! He has a great tone! Much love and God's blessings to you, Doc! ❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations!!
That's 1 minute per banjo! Congrats Phoebe! Nice collection
That old Chicago banjo started you on this 25,000 subscribers and banjo odyssey. It is priceless.
congrats Phoebe! you are impressive, and a joy to watch and listen to. best wishes with everything!
Congratulations 🎉
The Ute are a native American tribe from the Colorado/Utah area.
Wow, I just finished watching, and I really enjoyed the celebration! It was very nice to see the chronology of tour banjo journey laid out with instruments as milestones.
I still think you could do something with the electric banjo -- but not with that amp or that banjo 😂
My favorite is the gourd banjo. The sound is really distinctive, like a harp or kora.
I look forward to seeing the shiny spot on the wall
25,000 wow! you earn it . I need the daily dose.
Good grief... I was expecting some sort of octopus CGI Phoebe playing them all at once. Thank goodness I didn't have to watch that, would've scared the life out of me. Congrats on the big audience. Good channel.
I am polite and sitting through the electric banjo. Thanks.
You are just the best .. claw hammer most of the time - but pick a little too when required .. ! 💚😂😂
Congratulations! Thanks for including us in this banjo bonanza.
Nothing better than a pleasant person playing pleasant music on a pleasant instrument.
Thank you. 😊
I enjoy your videos. I am taking banjo lessons at age 61. You are a cool young lady and inspiring.
Very nice collection of banjos
Wow, you're getting to be a celebrity. When you play with Steve Martin, you'll know you've made it. Pretty cool to have joined your journey from the internet sidelines.
Congratulations on this milestone. You're a delight.
Too arthritic to play but, I can enjoy and appreciate. Thank you for the smiles and heart felt feelings.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Congratulations!
With that kind of a pickup, I think you're also usually supposed to buy a special banjo-specific preamp, or use some sort of software on your computer together with it...the preamp for a pickup isn't just adjusting the level of the audio so it's at the desired input level for the amp, it often also takes the relatively raw string sound that you tend to get from a pickup and puts it through a mathematical model that matches how the body of a banjo (or a cello, or a guitar, etc.) colors that raw string sound.
At least I know that's needed for cello pickups, connecting raw string sounds from a cello pickup straight to an amp makes an incredibly annoying buzzing sound, I think because a cello string makes that sound, and it only sounds good after it's filtered through the body of a cello.
At least in the case of cello pickups, usually the maker of your pickup also sells a pre-amp that's meant to be used together with that pickup, that colors the sound in the appropriate way. I've always thought it would be cool if somebody made some software that would let you put your raw string sound through models of a variety of instruments, so you could try out what it would be like if you replaced the drum of your banjo with the body of a Stradivarius violin, or the sound board of a piano, or any number of different popular guitar bodies, but I'm not sure whether anybody's done that as a commercial software product not tied to specific hardware.
Congratulations for 25k+ and tree cheers for future 50k!
Fun thing to do if life gets boring.
Get a few jokes from your father, crazy neighbour, grandpa and the wierd gas station cachier. Learn them by heart and then go to Austin TX with one of your banjos and try get on Kill Tony, do the jokes and then play your best tune. You cant loose that one, youre too lovely, youre gonna kill it for sure!
Great thanks for the banjo extravaganza.
I'm glad I caught your 25 thousand subscriber video, and I'm proud to be one of them! My favorite is Bosma and I really hope you'll bring her to the Gourd Festival in Delaware, Ohio the weekend of October 5th, it's a fun time, several gourd instrument musicians, I'm sure you would be a hit! Bring some CD's to sell if you have them! Keep us posted, if you'll be there so will I!
Congratulations on reaching 25000 subs. Well deserved for your great banjo playing, hat collection, chickens, fretless fridays and cool backgrounds topped off with your sparkling personality and your great banjo playing 😊
You make them all sound great but my favourite is the mellow sound of the gourd banjo ❤
AHHHH perfect time for a banjo video!!! My first ever banjo arrives tomorrow after almost 2 months of waiting LOL it feels so unreal!!!!
More subscribers never hurts. Zappa played the kazoo.
That was very cool you showing us all your banjos. Great story. congratulations on 25 thousand.
Having a great day
your channel has been my intro to banjo music and i’m loving it! I’m not typically big into instrumental music but your energy and vibes are so fun and lovely! It’s impossible to be bored watching a Phoebe video :)
Love the shack colour!!!
Congrats on the 25K Phoebe. Don't worry too much about CZcams. It too will pass. Your playing is the important thing. I'm hoping you jsee you jump onto the overseas folk festival circuit in good time. A great way for a youngster like you to see the world. I'll come and see you when you get to Australia.
That Jesse Head banjo is incredible! Love your channel, Phoebe!
Congrats! You deserve it. Your channel rocks! I will be here when you hit 100K.
to be honest, i know next to nothing about banjos, but i’m so glad i stumbled on your channel! i love seeing how passionate you are, thank you for making these videos :)
YYYIIIIIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Phoebe, I have listened to your last 2 Fretless Fridays and am loving the warping you can do with Bixby. I learned his name by watching this one, which CZcams kindly offered me. Thank you for sharing all your banjo-love! (Aislinn’s mom.)
OMGosh! I love that you have so many banjos! Like, it’s making day. I have a collection of rigid heddle looms.
Howdy. Banjo player here. I started with a cheapo open-back banjo given to me as a gag gift. It's always had a buzz, difficult fretting neck, and a tight string placement. I've never heard anyone mention this until your video. Good job on the subs. Keep on playing :)
I like the sound on the fret less. Nice and clear, no buzz of course. The fancy loaner and the last heavy are good. One more string and your Panjo could be GDAE Irish banjo or mandolin either way.
Very nice. I love that "ringy sound". Isn't that what a banjo is partly about, though? Love all the yellows, my favorite color.
Congratulations you have a very positive and wholesome channel, so here's to your success so far with much more to come. Cheers and peace and positivity to everyone.
Bruce is a perfect name for that meaty sounding banjo
