Oh... and another topic of great interest to me... Let us say there is a song you normally do in G, out of standard G tuning. But someone wants to play it in D, because that's where they sing it perhaps. And you are really used to the fingerings for that particular song in the G tuning, and so would rather not re-tune to say... C and capo at the 2nd fret. How would you handle that? Would you play D, G, and A chords out of your G tuning, or would you capo at the 7th? I've tried the latter, and capo'ing that high gives the banjo too much of a uke sound to my ears... but then playing D, G, and A chords also throws me off my game when I'm so used to where the notes and fingerings are in G.

2018-02-18 22:26:33 +0000 UTCThe Weyman... I either missed or you failed to mention if it is strung with Nylon like the Luscomb, or if it is strung with steel. I'd say it appears to be and sounds more like steel. So that leads to questions on your general preference towards nylon or steel, and why. Your thoughts on tone, tension, is one better suited for you to certain picking styles or even certain songs, etc. I waffle between the two on my open back... having switched back and forth a few times. But what's funny is that every time I go back to steel, within a few weeks I find myself threading a piece of yarn through the strings just in front of the bridge to kill sustain and make it sound more like nylon. Anyway... I'd be interested in seeing this topic covered with some depth. Thanks.
