Clip: Season 1 | 8m 52s | Video has closed captioning.

Unger’s interest in instrument making stemmed initially from his interest in fiddle music and the banjo. Around 1970, someone he knew gave him a banjo, and he decided to try and build his own. Unger continues to not only build, design, decorate and restore instruments, he also plays with a Contra dance band.
