https://p.eertu.be/videos/watch/e35ad8a2-113a-4169-a583-3b4e41962c20 Well, I have been horrible about uploading here. Sorry about that! I will have to get to it some more. I was recently gifted an old Kay tenor banjo. It is said to be from the 1930s, but I can't be sure the head looks different. If anyone knows about it, then please tell me what you know! I attached the strings, and broke one (they were old) and so I put another string in its place. it strummed fine, but when I fretted, nothing happened. This was because the action was so low that the highest fret got in the way. So, I adjusted the "coordinator rod" which is a rod inside the pot (round part) of the banjo that adjusts the action among other things. Long story short, I ended up going on to YouTube and finding a howto video and I was able to correctly adjust the rod. If anyone is interested, maybe I can upload some banjo how to to PeerTube. I was afraid of breaking the strings, so I tuned it to a chord tuning. similar to a five string banjo. When I get new strings, I will tune it up to the proper tuning. C G D A. But I am also contemplating the Irish tuning G D A E (which probably requires thinner strings.) So this is me trying it out. I didn't play my other banjo all that day, and I think it was jealous. Enjoy! Oh, the two songs are an Irish one, "Swallow tail jig" and a Kyrgyz one "Kara Jorgo" "Кара Жорго" for any of you Cyrillic-reading "jigiter" and "kyzdar" Mon, 06 Jul 2026 22:46:45 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://p.eertu.be https://p.eertu.be/client/assets/images/icons/icon-1500x1500.png https://p.eertu.be/videos/watch/e35ad8a2-113a-4169-a583-3b4e41962c20 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://p.eertu.be/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
