Musician accessory

[Jacob]

Music - is there a name for the thing that brass players attach to their instrument to hold a music cue card? I wan't something similar for my banjo. I can bodge something up but it might be available off the peg - if I can put a name to it!

 

[Jacob]

Sokay I've found it. It's called a brass marching lyre. Who'da though it!

Next question - is there something similar available for a banjo?

OK, I'll Start...

Definitions:

Gentleman - Someone who knows how to play the banjo but chooses not to.
Banjoist - Someone who spends half his time tuning a banjo and the other half playing it out of tune.
Beautiful banjo music - The crushing sound of a bus driving over a banjo.

There are more...
Your turn.

A man walked into a bar with his alligator and asked the bartender, "Do you serve banjo players here?"
"Sure do," replied the bartender.
"Good," said the man. Give me a beer, and I'll have a banjo player for my 'gator."

 

[Jacob]

Yep. Could be a peg, I'll have a go. Ta.

I'm not bothered if nobody like my banjo playing and anyway I'm moderately deaf so it doesn't bother me either!

Lot's of wit and wisdom here!
I still haven't quite found what I want - I have in mind a peg (as suggested) but with brass knobs on. I know it's out there somewhere. :shock:
