Big Eyed Rabbit, Round Peak-ish. Played on my fretless Reiter, through the homemade pickup. A little wonky the first time through, better the second time around.

Big Scioto, played on a Gold Tone CC50-TR with Nylgut (synthetic gut) strings. The Nylgut strings along with the plastic head and brass tone ring make a nice loud & plunky sound together.

Lulu Walls as the tune sounds in my head, played on a Bonefaas banjo. The recording is through the built-in piezo pickup.

Police on the fretless Reiter again, played through the computer's built-in mic. I tried to play it mostly like the pickup version for comparison.

Reuben on my Reiter fretless, through my classy $5 piezo pickup. Please excuse a few sour notes, just layed this down quick to show the sound of the pickup.

Trying to learn 2-finger thumb lead style. This is an old song; I like EC Ball's version. Played on the Retrotone into the computer's mic, which makes banjos sound like they are on the bottom of the river.

Trying to play a melody with three eighth-note Ds in a row using a back-of-the-thumb lick. It works OK some of the time but melts down the fourth time through. The song is by Billy Bragg, written to unused lyrics by Woody Guthrie. Sorry for the poor recording quality, the nice mic is elsewhere at the moment. I think this was played on my A-scale Gold Tone.
