Played in the key of F# minor (I think) out of A tuning (G tuning up one step). The drones are tuned to A and F# (a minor third inverted). This is to demonstrate how the Double Drone Banjola allows flexibility in choosing the drone sound. One is open, the other capoed at the 3rd fret but tuned down a half step (could be capoed at the 2nd fret, but there is no spike there).

This is, I suppose, the easiest song I know, being all in first position. It's a great people pleaser when I play at Old Deseret, because it's finally something they recognize.

The famous Irish tune played on a double drone Banjola. Double D tuning, with the drone strings tuned to D and A.
Plenty of mistakes in this recording.

Another take of Wildwood flower on my nylon strung, soda bottle PETE plastic head banjo. This one was recorded after the banjo was sanded and finished, with a different head installed.
