The Eternal Quest 2(~
Missed the Bluegrass Session in Hamburg last friday because of Daisy. Instead I tried a new setup for my Saga.
Broyges Tants
Now it´s a Renaissance head with nylgut strings. I even (tried to) tune the head to Bb. The sound is best to me with a pillow inside the head. I use a Fred Kelly pick on my frailing finger (still the nail issue). With pillow I avoid the ringing resonance and achieve a sound which to me is old timey enough - for the time being.
Unfortunately the frailing feeling differs from that with steel strings. Nylgut is a lot softer.
Let´s see what comes next...
Btw: Montag ist wieder Folk Session im Statt-Café.

I would marry the elder sister of this little boy in "Deliverance" to get the holy grail ;-)
Till then I keep my hypoallergic synthetic filled comfort cushion with laces and a blue moon (yes, blue moon) on top of it.
Bamp dat-ta!
P.S. I'm hoping for an invite to the nuptuals if you decide to go that way (and she'll have you). Been practising The Wedding March and "Broygens Tants" for the ocasion!!
