A Teardrop Trailer.
(back to your regularly scheduled topic...)
Not necessarily.
After taking in a few festivals I was starting to think some kind of trailer was going to be part of my recommended instrument kit (instrument, case for instrument, tuner for instrument, recording device for lessons on instrument, et cetera). I don't travel well. Hotel bedding always gives me the creeps. Tenting isn't my style any more.
There's a whole cult of "Teardrop" isn't there.
I'd been toying with getting a mandolin just so I'd have an easier instrument to figure out tunes on at sessions. Then I came to my senses and decided 8 strings was 4 four more than I wanted to deal with.
To that end, I turned my sights to an Irish tenor banjo, but it doesn't look like any of the banjos makers I've been recommended to by my Clawhammer teachers make anything but banjos with 5 strings.
I've been seriously looking at getting a decent 5 string banjo for my OT playing. Maybe a Nechville or a Doc
and since those 2 makes are like opposite ends of the 5 string banjo spectrum, why not one of both.
But in my heart I know I should just up grade my current fiddle. That's where I spend the bulk of my time.
I can't go with a brand on a fiddle. I just have to try a whole mess of them and get lucky.
The instrument kit will include maybe a Bam "high tech" or Calton case and a top of the line Coda bow.
