Hey man your banjo sounds better than a fretless banjo what a creative ideal you had sounds really good I love it keep playing sounds great 🪕😲😮💯🪕🤩🤩😲😲🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
@@bengreco oh, really no shit! That’s awesome. Glad I could help a little bit ha ha. And thanks man I’m loving it too. Harry McClintock has some wonderful recordings.
I've made a few cigar box and tin container instruments, and have been thinking about a gourd resonated instrument and fortunately my father in law grows mamy gourds. Thanks fir the inspiration.
I've been looking for a bottle gourd to make one of these for a while. I built another gourd bank from a kit, but really want a bottle shaped one too. Beautiful sound.
Shaking the tomato plants actually give it more tomatoes old myth here says a banjo playing near tomato plants always gives it more tomatoes probably something about the vibrations since they are self pollinators so it probably really is a science or something
@@Young.Nova.Native actually the flowers self pollinate so shaking the plant actually could pollinate more flowers and bring more tomatoes so I guess I should play by the tomatoes more often
That GordJo is the coolest.

A fretless gourd banjo is the bridge connecting the West African akonting with the Appalachian mountain banjo.
Hell yeah, dude that looks very similar to the last gourd banjos I built. Well done 👏🪕
Thanks! I love your Harry McClintock stuff, and I definitely had the banjos you made for your nephews in mind while I was building this one

It always amazes me to see the ingenuity of these banjo builds. Thanks for sharing your work!
@@Orourkebanjo yeah, same here man! Hey do you by chance have a website that I could check out some of your past Work?
Excellent! Fairly bright sound for a gourdy. I mess with cordage, too. Trying to use day lily leaves now. Not durable but easy to practice with.

sweet job
Do you do tech work on banjos people have bought from you? Like if they need repairs?
Love your pieces and design philosophy.
I haven't yet but I'm definitely open to it.
Thank you so much!!
I like your philosophy of the design elements
very nice, good sound
My man has applied pleasant timbre to the concept of banjo
Are you saying regular banjos don't have pleasant timbre?
Nice sound.
👍👍👍

Very cool banjo! Great sound!
Nice sound!
Ben, I really like the idea of using a gourd to make a Banjo, Can you use steel string or do you like the nylon string better?
Cool!
