Scott mostly plays his great-great-grandfather's old (German-made) Sears and Roebuck fiddle, with Prim strings. Rumors also abound about a strange, tear-drop fiddle with an eerie sound and a monkey's head on the end.

Seth builds and plays his own banjos -- check out his site for more information. His jug is a rare and priceless artifact, unearthed in a Paducah flea market and acquired at great cost.

Jim plays a 1934 Gibson L-00, another Gibson, and an old Martin with a warped neck.
