That Doesn't Sound Like No Banjo

Canadian Harry Manx brought his guitar wizardry to the Narrows Friday night.

Or perhaps it was stringed wizardry, since his banjo sounded like--well, we're not quite sure, but it worked well when he played Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile," which blended into B.B. King's "The Thrill is Gone."
One of his guitars (see farther down) was strung like a sitar and sure enough it sounded like a sitar.
It has something like 20 strings and, he said, "it takes four hours to tune."

How does one tell when a sitar is out of tune? No punch line to follow, just an observation.
