This third installment of DIY's three-part Handmade Music series focusing on the banjo explores the final steps in building an old-time banjo building. Dave Ball is our luthier, and this edition demonstrates his ability to build and play this traditional stringed instrument. Dave's reputation for building beautiful instruments comes in part from the stunning examples of fingerboard and peg head inlay. He demonstrates the painstaking process of selecting patterns, cutting abalone shell, embedding cutouts into the ebony, and engraving each piece while looking through a microscope. After adding frets to the fingerboard, Dave returns to the rim to prepare for joining the neck and rim. First he clamps the banjo head in place with hardware to create a "drum". Previously Dave created a neck, a rim, and a dowel stick. Now he simply combines the elements to complete his banjo. Like many of our luthiers on Handmade Music, Dave prefers French polish to finish his instruments and he demonstrates how the techniques works beautifully on a natural oil finish. After strings are added Dave's band "The Mumbillies" join him in a demonstration of traditional old-time music.
