DEERING GOODTIME: Most bang for your buck. NICE quality for a beginner for not too much money. Frailing (same as clawhammer) was primarily used as a rhythm instrument in old time playing. One usually used an open back banjo for clawhammer. Your bluegrass banjo has the resonator, making it louder and brighter. But clawhammer technique is changing to produce a melodic playing as a solo or lead instrument. If you want to hear some melodic clawhammer playing go to Ken Perlman's site here and listen to sound samples. His new CD is mostly Celtic. Great stuff! Margo
