I believe that Douglas Alton Smith (author of "A History of the Lute
from Antiquity to the Renaissance") also plays banjo.
Gustav Leonhardt played the banjo? -- that's a surprise!

I think it more pertinent to this forum to mention the number of lute
players who play the banjo.A
Ron Andrico - Ron plays in the "clawhammer" style, where the index (or
middle) finger of the right hand strikes downwards onto individual
strings. One of the greatest Old Time banjo players, R. D. Lunceford,
had this to say of Ron: "Ron is one of the finest musicians I've had
the privilege of playing with.A A great fiddler, singer, and
insightful and intuitive guitar player, not to mention a fine old-time
banjoista". We know Ron and Donna as Mignarda, but check out their
alter egos, Eulalie:A [1]http://www.eulalie-blue.com
Tom Berghan - Tom plays with Stephen Stubbs (the lute player and
guitarist) in a 19th-century banjo-led ensemble. Tom is a wonderful
lute player, and a fantastic banjo player.
James Tyler - a brilliant tenor banjoist. Check out this video from the
BBC programme, The Good Old Days:A [2]https://youtu.be/sZgCpx8BN78A
Me - Check outA [3]http://robmackillop.net/banjo/A and my YouTube banjo
playlist:A [4]https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL422073C567EEF259A
- where I play gut-strung fretless 19th-century banjo, 19th-century
fretted banjo, and 1920s tenor and plectrum banjos.A
Pat Stefanelli - Pat is French. She plays the theorboA professionally,
and is a first-rate accompanist. She specialises in accompaniment on
both theorbo and banjo. Her husband is Eric Stefanelli, who I rate as
the finest maker of classic banjos - copies of fingerstyle banjos from
1890 to 1930. They both live in France. Eric is a great player. Here
they are playing together on two instruments made by
Eric:A [5]http://[6]youtube.com/watch?v=[7]CCIfanCQxVsA
Ray Nurse - the Canadian lute player started his musical life as a
bluegrass banjo player
Gustav Leonhardt - yes, THAT Gustav Leonhardt. According to Tom
Berghan, Old Gusty informed him he was really into bluegrass, and toyed
with a banjo when he had the time.
There are probably more.A

I had the privilege of seeing George Van Eps play in duet with Tony
Ricci while on his last California tour. I went to see him with my
friend, Eddie Duran, who is also a master jazz guitarist. Van Eps
was amazing. I felt sorry for Tony Ricci who is an amazing jazz
guitarist in his own right. The audience was there to see Van Eps
and when Tony would play, everybody was just waiting for George to
play again. They took a break and Van Eps, who knew Eddie Duran,
came over to our table. Eddie had been recording the concert on his
walkman and, when George came to our table, Eddie shoved his mic in
George's face and said, "Who do you listen to?" as a joke. George
immediately went into his shtick saying with all seriousness, "I
don't listen to guitarists, I listen to piano players..." He was
fond of referring to the guitar as a "lap piano". I've been on the
first ten pages of "Harmonic Mechanisms, Vol. I" for the last twenty
years. There are some great videos of George playing on youtube.

Alright, alright- I'm not sayin' nuthin- but I never knew G. van Eps
had a method; is it easily found/avialable via the google? He's a hero
of mine because of the 7 string business. Love my 7 string
steel-string, and am annoyed that my classical is only 6.
