Just picked it up today at the Orlando vintage guitar expo. Everybody needs an indestructible campfire banjo. Sounds great without the resonator but the sharp edges on the bottlecap rim dig into my leg. I don't care. This thing is cool.

	Dan-Ban says: 1/20/2013 1:11:44 AM Congrats on the new banjo Lone Rider. I've got other banjos now, but I still love playing my Epiphone MB200. I play Clawhammer on it with the resonator on. Got it tuned to open F. Gives it a cool Old time mountain sound. Clondikes foam suggestion's a good one when the resonator's off.Happy picking!
	Lone Rider says: 1/21/2013 3:13:04 PM That foam trick worked pretty good. Thanks! Think I'll try the F tuning next.
	Lone Rider says: 1/28/2013 1:11:10 PM Definitely pleased with the sound I get playing clawhammer. I went ahead and ordered me a geared 5th string tuner and planetary tuners from Stew Mac. Also ordered the reamer tool just in case.
