You probably are familiar with this, but Bob Thornburg at gourdbanjo.com
is building early gourd banjos that use gut strings.

Thanks, Chris. Only the first string is nylon, The other three are like
classical guitar basses - a nylon silk core wound in silver-plated
copper. So far I haven't had to change the strings - the instrument
is
less than a month old. But at some point I'm going to have to find
out
exactly what they are and where to get them. And also what
alternatives
I might try.
Cheers,

This sounds great, Rob, both your playing and the instrument.
Though a
modern banjo, it sounds good with nylon strings. Aquila, I assume?

Oh, I see. Because I'm Scottish, you make jokes about bagpipes

Nessie. Well done, Louis. Thanks for your intelligent
contribution.
