Tom Saffell is an interesting fellow, part inventor, all musician. He's created the 8-string banjo, which gives him the ability to play even the most complex Celtic and Bluegrass melodies note-for-note, three-finger style. He keeps up with Gretchen's fanciest fiddle arrangements with perfect coordination. Tom moves from intense to delicate and back again with ease.
