Is a banjo better?

Too close to call!

The fire should last longer with the accordion on it than with the banjo...

I haven’t yet come across a banjo you can play through headphones, to keep the other campers happy...

It was me in the tent...

Tenor Banjo though, not that funny 5 string thing.

Well, given that the FRxs are midi and virtual, I suppose I have to give you this one, even though it doesn't involve a physical facsimile of the instrument that you can pick up and play in a similar manner to the original. Or is there a silent banjo midi controller?

you could replace the drum with a Roland digital mesh head and trigger the banjo "snap" that way

then with a small builtin sampler trigger the strings via a guitar-2-usb cable

there are ways......

I guess the conclusion we ought to draw, based on Knobby's starter to this thread, is that if you want a good joke, you need an acoustic instrument!

Mind you, for years, I have had a little plaque on my desk that says,"To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer." And the FRx is mostly a computer... Not sure where this is leading me...

Yesterday I went to my second "pandemic times" music session that was held in a bandshell in a beautiful park, it was about traditional folk and bluegrass music. When I showed up with my diatonic then went : "Ah! at last, something to change from a banjo".
