Played on an "Frankenstein" banjo put together from "no name" cast off parts. A 1960's neck attached to much older spun over 10 5/8" pot with original calf skin head.

Played on my Sagmoen 10 7/8" pot , 24 3/4" scale with and Ashborn rim with a Dobson tone ring, a Renaissance head, Fielding tailpiece and GHS PF150 steel strings in double C tuning.

From Marcus Martin. Banjo tuned aEAC#E.

For the old-time Tune of the Week, Happy Hollow is one of North Carolina fiddler Marcus Martin's tunes. I decided to play it on the cello banjo, so the key comes out lower than the original (and slower!). Don't you think it's a happy tune?
