Frank: I've got a vinyl track of Reinhardt playing the banjo - its about 1927 and is a sort of Frenchified ragtime band piece, with vocal as I recall (the record's currently out on loan). All the ususal Django stuff but on vellum rather than spruce. It's on a double album called "tous les cordes de Django Reinhardt". Chris: the Deering is the best sounding and most stable of the guitar banjos I've worked on, but of course it's also relatively expensive. AB
