Description
The Cottonwood Bark has a secret it’s not good at keeping: a woodspirit carved from cottonwood bark and hiding in the peghead, peeking out to make sure you’re playing something respectable. It brings an unmistakable old-timey presence and may silently judge sloppy rhythm, though it forgives missed notes.
The cottonwood bark woodspirit isn’t just decoration- it’s the banjos supervisor. wake it up with some solid clawhammer strikes and it’ll reward you with music that sounds like it wandered in from the woods and decided to stay a while.
