Re: Some gourd banjo music...
Thanks for the feedback!
The neck is wood...and the body is a gourd and it has a goatskin head.
My gourd banjo is Jeffrey Menzies #20...but no online photo of it...it looks like #4 at this URL.
Also good information, history, and pictures of gourd banjos at this URL
According to Bob Flesher's website, gourd banjos played by soldiers north and south during the civil war.
