pete Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Available from Amazon. As far as I can see, there appears to be a danger of your banjo kit turning out looking like a concertina! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david fabre Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I suspect the assembly notice has been badly translated from chinese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjcjones Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Think yourself lucky, Henrik, your kitchen-table concertina project might have turned out as a banjo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Müller Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Think yourself lucky, Henrik, your kitchen-table concertina project might have turned out as a banjo. Whoa, now - you just happened to press the right button, there! The first attempt actually did turn out as a banjo: It is called "The 27", for the simple reason that it took 27 years... After switching to concertinas, production time fell to 10 months /Henrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglo-Irishman Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Amazing! In fact, I did see a photo of a hexagonal-bodied banjo once. Maybe it was made from a Hohner kit The trick is to build it as a zither-banjo - with the vellum head not stretched over the body, like on Henrik's, but clamped in a sort of cast-metal embroidery hoop. This assembly is then let into a circular opening in the wood body, so the body itself could theoretically be any shape. In the case of a Hohner kit, hexagonal. Or, for the more high-class concertinist-banjoist, octagonal Cheers, John (who's quite content with hexagonal concertinas and round banjos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglo-Irishman Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Paddle faster, I hear concertina music. Hm! It's when you get into situations like that - up the creek without a paddle - that you really appreciate the banjo! Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takayuki YAGI Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 In fact, I did see a photo of a hexagonal-bodied banjo once. Maybe it was made from a Hohner kit Maybe this one? Not a banjo but Erhu has hexagonal or octagonal body. Looks like miniature concertina?? -- Taka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
