It's a twister!

[mrmando]

Intending no disrespect, I nevertheless must ask what the utility of this object (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10179&item=3755368824&rd=1) is.

No crank, so it doesn't really make the tuner knobs easier to turn. So what's the point?

Can you imagine whipping one of those out at a jam to tune up? The banjo players would even think you were stupid! It never ceases to amaze me what gets marketed to musicians.

Hmmmmm ? Does seem a bit odd , kinda like having a extention to a socket with no socket wrench! Not real handy. However if you clamp on a set of vise grips to the "twister" then.....oh nevermind

[mandroid]

or a 1/4" hex for your electric screwdriver, maybe it can double as s Bodran beater?

I'm thinking of selling specially crafted tuning gloves:

These will greatly enhance your ability to tune quickly and efficiently, and will instantly gain you recognition from professional players.

It must be an evil b@*#jo player behind all this. I think I'll invest my money elsewhere.:O

[straight-a]

Humph! Do you really think that we evil banjoists would waste time on such things as that? We're too busy speeding up the tempo and overpowering everyone! Must be a bass player thing. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

Twist it with your fingers? Uh, OK. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif
