I made a fun album with a ukelele and a banjo once.

So there’s that

#14

actually yeah, he mostly uses banjo, doesn’t he.

think he played a bit of uke on Carrie & Lowell, though?

#15


:heart:
#16

He uses a guitalin a bit which I think sounds quite similar

#17

Really want one of these

#18

I’d be into that if I believed itd stay in tune for longer than 5 minutes.

been searching eBay for a charango recently. don’t really need a charango.

#19

I now also want a charango (and a taus, and a Portuguese guitar, and a Tahitian banjo).

from what I gather mini sitar are quite common, low quality things for decorative purposes only, but a company called Mid East made an actual half decent instrument called the sitar kulele, with the pickup like in the video, but they are impossible to find now, first heard about them when stephin merrist was talking about trying to obtain one
