The Cuckoo, played on a "progressive mountain banjo" (2 degree neck angle, frets, side dot fret markers, and a scoop up to the 17th fret). Banjo number 26 from the Bisbonian Banjo Works, tiger maple pot and, neck, and tuners, walnut fretboard, calfskin head, Nylgut Red strings, spruce bridge with a desert ironwood cap.
"progressive mountain banjo" was a termed coined by the guy I built it for. It's an evolution/modernization of a banjo design from Wautauga County, North Carolina...a design pretty much perfected by Frank Proffitt, and his father in law Stanley Hicks. They were fretless, simply finished, with straight necks, and no markers.
