The Coolest Wooden Banjo EVER! 

Sweetest, mellow sound to ever come out of a banjo. Beautiful craftsmanship too.

I am an old man now😊. I started playing the banjo many, many years ago….years before you were born. Admittedly, I was an Earl Scruggs disciple. Your videos always make my day…I always look forward to your new ones. Thank you for being such a treasure in my dotage. Your gord banjo is a genuine treasure!

Thank you for sharing my banjo! We all love the way you play Phoebe! You make my banjo sound way better than I could ever make it sound 😅 There's nobody else I would rather give a banjo to.

That banjo has an AMAZING sound to it.

That's a sweet banjo Phoebe. Love the antler arm rest. Your shed is quickly becoming Phoebe's Banjo Barn.

When I was a kid learning the banjo my mother did everything possible to deaden the sound for some peace in the house. If I had this banjo with its sweet sound, my family would have enjoyed my learning process more. It’s a beautiful instrument.

What a beautiful mellow sound that banjo has! Often I find banjo a bit 'twangy', but that one is smooth as silk. Love it. And I haven't even watched the whole video yet. 😎 Edit: Ok, so it needs a name beginning with b.. hmmm.. How about 'Blitzen'? As in Santa's reindeer. Because a) you got it as a present and b) it has an antler. My work here is done... 🤣

the title isn't click bait. it's the best ever

Suggestion for the name: "Bumpkin" Because it's a Banjo, a pumpkin and a chicKin. Or maybe 'Berl' as in 'Berlin' because it has a "wall" nut top.

I really like the tone of this banjo. One or two more and you can open up a banjo museum!

That's a great looking Banjo! You should call it Brando because it's branded with your chicken!

Jesse is an artist crafting such a beautiful piece that sounds so great!

Very cool! My friends grandpa used to make these. Sadly he was up in his 90s when I met him. He jad dementia, but my friend asked him to show one to me. He could remember everything about that gourd banjo, even how to play it! I haven't seen one since. Thanks for sharing. Brought tears to my eyes. That is a work of love and art. Simply amazing

Gourdgeous George . Beautiful instrument . Frail on!

Definitely a mellow sound! More like mandolin. Sweet a clear, almost gentle. Thank you.

That instrument sounds great... such a warm, gentle sound.

Within the first 20 seconds I knew that was a great banjo. The sound is superb, crisp and flows very well. He did a wonderful job.

Beauregard!! Thank you for these!!! 71 living solo!! I smile and my foot taps every time!!! Peace!!

Looks and sounds fantastic! 👌

Love the bookmatched walnut and the Osma inlay!

Hey, I just stumbled upon your channel and subscribed. It was kinda serendipitous since I just started getting into banjo, recently. I, honestly, just clicked on your video because of how photogenic you are but was then surprised by how genuinely cool your content is. That gord banjo is so well crafted that it's a playable work of art. And I really like the others you have in the background. I'm going to have to go back through your videos as I'm still in that early learning stage as far as banjos go. I started learning guitar 5 years ago, when I was 20, and enjoy fingerpicking so I'm interested to see if having those skills will make it easier for me to pick up banjo.

Exquisite instrument. The antler, wood choices, inlays and scoop make it a real one off. Sweet sweet sound

That instrument is cool. It's got a really unique sound. Distinct from a banjo and a guitar. Really a nice tone.

Banjo name suggestion: Bantam (after the chicken breed)

Awesome banjo. You deserve it !

You’re glowing! So blessed to here you play!!

I'm learning more about banjos thanks to this channel, but this is the prettiest sounding banjo I've ever heard!

What a wonderful Banjo! He is a real artisan! And what a wonderful Banjo player too! Phoebe, you’re THE BEST! Love your yellow studio and the low ceiling... You Go Girl! ❤️

The Osma inlay is amazing oh my goodness!

Your playing always cheers me up but that banjo is on another level - fantastic

That is a true work of art! Great job Jesse, and thank you for helping our favorite banjo friend

Love the 🐔 inlay. Very cool banjo.

My father played banjo almost his full 100 years. I was never that fond of the instrument, but I always appreciated his skill on it. Hearing the gourd-head banjo helps me understand why I didn’t love the “drum head” style. I love the sound of your gourd-head banjo!

She's so nice. Always making me happy watching her.

I love your energy, enthusiasm and your wonderful smile❤

Wowzer! That is one beautiful banjo. It sounds wonderful! So warm! Congratulations 😎

Nice tone from your terrific looking banjo. I appreciate how you talk about each of your instruments and the variety you've collected. One of the other things I enjoy about your channel is your authenticity. You seem very down to earth and honest. By the way, I hope your finals went well! Keep up the good work and wonderful videos.

The first chicken to achieve immortality since Foghorn Leghorn. What a beautiful instrument, great sound, and touching memorial.

Dr. Phoebe, I love this gourd banjo! It really suits you! ♥♥♥♥♥ Kudos to Jesse!!! Thanks, Jesse, for supplying my favorite Practitioner of Banjo with such a fine instrument! All the best to you!

"Beau" sounds like a Dixie-fied pronunciation of "bowl," and since the heart of it is a goard bowl... :) Happy Monday, thanks for the tunes and smiles!

И, спасибо за отличное вечернее настроение, Фиби! !! :-)

Great looking instrument and a wonderful mellow tone. What a fantastic addition to your Banjo Barn. No wonder you are so excited! :D

This is the sweetest sounding banjo I have ever heard. You do it justice. It is so easy on my old ears. 👨🏻‍🦳

That banjo is the "Cat's Meow" and your playing it so awesome! You were meant to be long lasting friends. Veteran "Charlie"

The dear horn armrest is genius

It looks really cool and sounds so warm and sweet.

That is honestly probably the prettiest banjo I’ve ever heard!

Just discovered your channel this week. Your banjo playing puts a smile on my face and brightens my day. You're an excellent human, enjoy your awesome new banjo!

I love its sound. Not loud but warm. And of course, a beautiful design

I am new to your channel and the reason I say that is, I know absolutely nothing about banjos other than out of all the instruments. The banjo is my all time favorite. I'm 60 and when I was knee high to a grasshopper. I would sit and listen to my granddad play and my other granddad play the accordion. When they got together it was so much fun. But when I got much much older I happen to see that banjo at my mom and dad's. That's when my dad told me the history of that banjo. It was my granddads, grandfather's and he played it while at war during the Civil War. The memories just amplified for myself. Sorry long winded comment. What I just meant to come and say. That gore banjo has a amazing sound. Really enjoyed this video.

Love that tone - mellow and rich! And it is so aesthetically beautiful. 💜

A wooden inlay doesn't change anything with the sound of the instrument. But it demonstrates the love and dedication of the luthier which will definitely also have an effect on the sound. I am really impressed how much time my luthier spent on the inlays of the instruments he built for me. So, looking at such a beautiful looking and sounding instrument in this video it comes back to my mind.

What a warm & wonderful sound!!

Very nice, Phoebe. Your nifty gourd banjo gifty has a light, bright sound with great volume & reverberation."Thank you!" to you & your benefactor. Henny Penny is gone but not forgotten. Be Well.

Хорошая память об Озме! Даже лучшая память! :-)))

Gorgeous, I've never seen a gourd banjo - Maybe name it "Birdie" since it has the chicken on it on it, or "Bestie" since Osma was one of you best friends.

Gosh, I just KNOW that Patty Loveless’ version of “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” would sound PHENOMENAL on this banjo!

buck buck buck Buckee ! the Banjo ! So warm ! Beautiful Instrument ! Bucky the Banjo !

At 78 with 40 yrs frailing experience my fingers are getting stiff and losing more brain cells then I'm replacing its so good to see younger generation stepping up. Banjo is so fun and I have so many great memories through the years .You sound great girl

Super Cool ❤. Thanks for sharing Phoebe. 👍🙂. 😊🕊️

Sweet sound and very natural ... back to the roots in Africa 🙂

The sound of that is so beautiful

😍 It sounds so mellow and warm. Very cozy and calm. I love it!!!!

The world is a much more beautiful place every time I see your face! Your musical arts delight our hearts! 🎶💜🥰

A wonderful instrument! I think I would name him Bozma.🥰

Phoebe, you make that thing sound good. I admire every one of those handmade banjos, that in your hands become instruments.

Banjo has always been my favorite instrument to listen to. I especially love this one!

It’s nice to see a young musician playing such a unique instrument so well and it’s a beautiful instrument and you play it very beautifully. Keep up the great playing and I’ll keep watching!

Its really cool to see someone totally passionate about what they do. God be with you!

been picking since I was 6years old it's nice to see a young woman playing with the banjo. love the gourd.

What a LOVELY sound! That's just so rich. It almost has autoharp overtones. And I love "Wildflowers". A name? Bellina!

I love this gourd banjo with the antler, how amazing! It sounds amazing

Wow! That’s beautiful craftsmanship!

I just got my first banjo yesterday. A friend gifted it to me. Super excited to learn! That banjo is gorgeous! 🥰

Gordon is a good name... 😂

Best sounding banjo ever

Whoa, I love the timber of that instrument!
