I Play Clawhammer/Frailing-style banjo with the North Harris County Dulcimer Society;
I played six-holed fife before I played mountain dulcimer, and mountain dulcimer before the banjo* I also play a wooden Neo-celtic ("Irish") flute, and nearly learned the bodrhan...er, until the neighbors complained. Yes, that's where my minstrel banjo came from (lol).*
