Need volume

Saturday, May 26, 2007

Good morning, folks, I have a question about trying to make my banjo louder. It is an old 1925 vega with a good heavy bell brass tone ring. it has a semi arch, meaning it is not a flathead. It does have a mahogany resenator, and the head seams it be properly stretched. Any suggestions?

Born and raised south of Kansas City, Mo.; Have been playing my old D-28 since an early age, along with the mandolin, fiddle, dobro, doghouse bass, and the banjo. Love bluegrass music, old country, and other genre's of music. Play mostly southern, bluegrass, and country gospel as my ministry. I am a born again christian who loves and lives for Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. I currently play in a Southern Gospel Band on Sunday mornings, and play in the SugarRidge Bluegrass Band as a utility man, but mostly a bass player until we can find someone to play it. My nickname is Bud. It is less confusing than Cary Cary. Please call me Bud. God Bless and happy playing! Bud
