6000 Bantar Questions

jsm610 · Post by **jsm610** » Wed Jun 30, 2004 7:34 pm

Does anyone know about the Bantar and how it should be tuned? I think the 5 string should be gDGBD, but how should the 4 string be tuned? Is it DGBD or CGDA?

Any idea what gauge strings would be used?

Jwilli - I'm a addin that one an one an one is three Bantar questons. I reckon that it coulda be six in the Carolinas tho...

I gots me some new fingerpicks, but I'm outta tune. Can't figure out how to tune this gosh darn geetar. I'm near confused more than a clean pig in a fresh mud puddle.

Speaking of Banjo, get the Bela Fleck/Edgar Meyer CD/DVD set "Music For Two", absolutely fantastic! I saw the concert here in Cleveland last year.

You city-slickers better watch all that talk about Bantars.

A Bantar would be right at home in my collection, and I live in the heart of Bluegrass country--in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. I've always wondered what a Bantar would sound like in the hands of someone like Earl Scruggs or J.D. Crowe.
