Wayne / Gibson, & taste buds !

From NZsteve on 3/26/2013 6:17:47 PM

How does your banjo taste ?. Had the pleasure of listening to Wayne play his Gibson last week, now I know what all the "fuss" is about with Gibson. When you taste any old whisky its ok, palatable and I would not say no thanks, even to that stuff from Dunedin which I have sampled, (although an acid condition can be a bit of a problem later), but a single malt  is special, it makes the taste buds explode on your tongue. Now a lot of banjos fall into the "made in Dunedin" category, well the Gibson is most definitely a single malt from a select Scottish distillery, now if my ears had taste buds, well you get the message. Its simple, a lot of us mere mortals have banjos that come from Dunedin, where as a select few have a special  "made in Scotland" brand, oh !, as an afterthought  many apologies to  those in Dunedin, most sincerely folks !. I wonder, do they make blended or single malt  in Oz ?.

Interesting how a posting on banjos ends up on whiskey! Yes Gibson banjos have a unique sound. I have owned and played other top brands and while they have been great and have a sound all of thier own, there is a tone which is Gibson. Having aid this, I played some awful Gibsons, and some wonderful 'others'.

I'm trying to work out where that leaves us that do have Gibson banjos in Dunedin.
