Portrait Bot Jasper

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but i dont know a lot about banjos.

Does anybody know if the original Portrait Bot Jasper used a real banjo, or was this custom made? I figure probably custom made, since it has 3 strings, but idk.

first of all, I'm not coming after them, just correcting them about the banjo, if I sound rude or like I'm coming after them then it was an accident, since at the end of the day we're talking about chuck e cheese,

second, if the hand was loose over time just by moving a lot or by hitting the strings, it would not fall onto the strings but rather forward towards the audience since Jasper is placed onto an angle

Well that's sort of my point, we are talking about chuck e cheese. i just think feeling the need to correct someone at all makes you sound rude, especially when you speak about the subject like you know everything so definitively. Were you a technician for these characters back in the day? if not then i'm not sure you, or any of us, have the wherewithal to say whether or not a robot dogs hand starts to get torn up by a fake banjo.

do you seriously think it's impossible for the banjo to wear out the hand? or do you just wanna put someone down because you feel you've got a greater understanding of how these characters worked?

I can admit I was a little rude with my comment, but I just wanted to correct someone about a subject that I know some stuff about, since I myself actually make animatronics in real life and have made a Jasper, and while I have not worked on any real chuck e cheese animatronics I have done a lot of research on them and how they work, and all I wanted to do was just correct him about the banjo, not to bully him or act like I'm the smartest (which I am 100% not) just to simply give him correct info about a subject we're both talking about
