Any twangers out there ...

TameasDust	Date: December 19, 2005 @ 8:55 AM well ?
zedsalt	Date: December 19, 2005 @ 10:36 AM I've had occasion to twang. Just as often, though, I use my electric tenor banjo to make very nontradtional sounds.
Alstroph	Date: December 19, 2005 @ 10:39 AM I've got a really nice banjo waiting for me to open on Christmas day.
zedsalt	Date: December 19, 2005 @ 10:46 AM Cool! I really need to open my banjo one of these days; one of the strap holders fell off. I got the screw back out of the resonator, but I need to reaffix it.
EvilPicnic	Date: December 19, 2005 @ 12:27 PM I gently strum a uke from time to time; does that count? It's purple.
zedsalt	Date: December 20, 2005 @ 10:54 AM Check out the Polka-Lay-Lee here: http://files.dmusic.com/music/z/e/zed/studio2.jpg It's the critter with the huge sickle-shaped headstock. It has an interesting sound...
mystery-machine	Date: December 29, 2005 @ 1:31 PM I'm a twangker.
victorsskull	Date: December 29, 2005 @ 1:54 PM I have a wanger but not a twanger
BlackMage	Date: December 30, 2005 @ 8:14 AM No Vic. You've got a wang. Therefore you're a wanger.
prozacrat	Date: December 31, 2005 @ 3:17 AM I can be heard twanging on two songs on my site (prozacrat.dmusic.com): "Hoke" and "Bank Teller". I also make a guest banjo appearance at wumpus.dmusic.com on the song "God & The Devil Are In The Same Room Pt. 2". Upon listening to these you can tell I really rather suck at banjo playing. But do I care? No. The banjo rocks.
prozacrat	Date: December 31, 2005 @ 3:19 AM And I see that Polka-Lay-Lee, zedsalt. I want it really bad. I also see the Casio MT-68 behind it. I like that one.
K3VIN	Date: December 31, 2005 @ 10:38 AM reminds me of a funny ass video on ebaumsworld
Alstroph	Date: January 6, 2006 @ 10:14 AM My banjo is really nice... I thought it would be pretty easy to pick up since i play a lot of string instruments already... but the hand positions my book is suggesting are rough.
hate9wicket	Date: January 6, 2006 @ 9:08 PM I can't make up my mind how to tune mine. First off though, the stupid drone string key doesn't stay in place so I just have 4 on, right now I've got it tuned E, G#,C,and e, then I switch and go E, A, C#, then e and if I had the drone it would be a. I only got one song with banjo though.

MindSculpture	Date: January 12, 2006 @ 3:54 PM I got a twanger and a fine clackerbag.
LivingSkeleton	Date: January 16, 2006 @ 3:35 AM Crap twangin'. http://livingskeleton.dmusic.com The crap has been twanged.
downtowndonnie	Date: January 19, 2006 @ 6:24 PM My friend has a banjo - I've played it once or twice. I wish I had one for meself. But alas... I do have this strum stick thing that uses banjo strings and gives a slightly similar sound to a banjo, but still, a banjo would be cool
tooles	Date: January 20, 2006 @ 5:43 PM Strumstickers unite!
downtowndonnie	Date: January 20, 2006 @ 6:21 PM ^damn straight!
MindSculpture	Date: January 20, 2006 @ 7:00 PM Was it a hairy banjo?
zedsalt	Date: January 21, 2006 @ 11:49 AM My buddy Mark played Strumstick on a few of the songs on our two albums together for Wood Records ("Fragmintia" and "The Legend of Dusty Cornfield").
tooles	Date: January 21, 2006 @ 6:20 PM What size strumstick?
JohnAnderson	Date: January 28, 2006 @ 1:48 PM I twang from time to time
pmscpc	Date: January 30, 2006 @ 2:36 AM I occasinally get a "twinge"; is this related ?
pangtera	Date: February 11, 2006 @ 3:42 PM Some people twang in the morning, some in the afternoon, some in the evening, and heck, some people twang all day.
GeneHilbert	Date: February 11, 2006 @ 4:23 PM Guilty
ajpresentsky	Date: June 8, 2006 @ 1:30 PM Guilty too
Opossum	Date: June 8, 2006 @ 11:05 PM There are two instruments I've never been able to properly learn. One is the banjo, the other is the recorder.
victorsskull	Date: July 11, 2006 @ 2:23 AM I had a bango once I was horrible
TameasDust	Date: July 19, 2006 @ 1:52 PM There is electric guitars ... wonder what a electric banjo sounds like
GeneHilbert	Date: July 19, 2006 @ 1:54 PM like a regular banjo except.... LOUDER
zedsalt	Date: July 20, 2006 @ 11:28 AM There are electric tenor banjo bits all over my work here and...um...another site (rhymes with "moundlick"). On that...y'know, other...site is a tune titled "A Variety of Labor, pt.1". Both the huge, whooshing whuuuuuuump!!! and the twangy extraterrestrial sitar sounds were made with the same toys- an Antares tenor banjo through a Moogerfooger MF101.

LiQuidMetamo...	Date: August 15, 2006 @ 3:37 PM If you want to hear a good example of an electric banjo, the song 'Stop! Stop! Stop!' by the Hollies from 1966's 'For Certain Because...' album is a fine example. In the U.K. the Hollies were battling it out with the Beatles for top dog in the mid 60's (with the Stones) and Graham Nash of course went on to fame in Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young etc. a small lofi excerpt can be heard here (the ending of the song has the most intense use of electric banjo) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000063CNC/sr=8-1/qid=1155669516/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-6704433-3214211?ie=UTF8
