Takes me back to a time when I used to fit light strings on my banjo. Not any more.

Why don’t you use a table @Michael_Mark it’s so much easier to fit strings when the instrument is laid on a towel on a table.

I’d love to tell that young man that it gets better with age.
But it doesn’t!

The ending is perfect! (But I gotta admit, I love the 1:47 moment!)

Yes @BanJoe he has much to learn. He is lucky he has us old farts to guide him in the ways of the world.

That has to be the most complex puppet I’ve ever seen. His hands could point a finger. His eyebrows/lids moved. His hair moved. How is the puppeteer doing all of that with just strings?

Same thoughts came to my in mind too! It was so very natural! Assuming some type of a programmed device used to facilitate the string pulling.

Me neither. My motto in this situation is if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. So many things in life would be cheaper and simpler if people lived by that!

“Can we start a GoFundMe to get Gunnar some new strings?”

I don’t know how you can go as long as you do without changing strings, but then again you never wear shoes either.

On changing strings… seems like I’m not alone! Here was my dumb answer to a dumb question posted some time ago in this forum… Dumb question… probably - Banjo - Forum - Banjo Ben Clark

So @Michael_Mark, GoFundMe might not be of much help in individual policy decisions! :wink:
