"The only musical instrument we had was a banjo. Some made their banjos.
Take a bucket or pan a long strip of wood. 3 horse hairs twisted made
the base string. 2 horsehairs twisted made the second string. 1 horse
hair twisted made the fourth and the fifth string was the fine one, it
was not twisted at all but drawn tight. They were all bees waxed."
