Put the strings on the banjo today.
It's basically done. Still experimenting with where best to locate the bridge, and may want to scoop out a section of the fingerboard near the gourd -- because it's a bit tight in there when playing.
My high-school student/co-maker was on her way over to take possession of it, so I quickly plucked out a few tunes. Not great quality video, but it does give some idea of the instrument's sound.
Shenandoah
Worried Man Blues -- I could see the student and her mother arriving while playing this, and they rang the doorbell just at the end.
