Here's what happened to me 2 days ago. I put my 2 week-old beautiful bluegrass banjo - the first one I've owned with a real tone ring, nice inlay - on the guitar stand and walked away. The problem was that my foot had slipped into the strap and so with my first step I yanked it forward, off the stand and - SMACK!! - it hit the floor face down with the most heart breakingly perfect sound. I walked out of the room, shut the door and couldn't bring myself to go in and check it out. After about an hour I finally picked it up and ... no damage whatsoever. Unbelievable.
Anyway, I thought it might be cathartic for people to post their own stories of tragic mishaps. What's the worst thing that ever happened to your banjo?
