Antique "British Made" Banjo (good cheap banjo)

This lower-end English banjo, probably made in the 1890s, exhibits an interesting mix of Old and New World style craftsmanship. It's also surprisingly bright, loud and punchy-sounding! The spun-over bent ash rim probably contributes a lot to its sound. Restored by me with contemporary rosewood tuners, antique maple bridge and La Bella No. 17 nylon strings for "classic banjo."

Sorry, Brian! Fear not, there's more fish in the sea. I have a good cheap L&H almost ready that you might like.

Whoa. I will have to go to plan B. Let it be known, if Clif has a banjo, don't doddle. Happy picking Seth

Holler at me clifhicks@gmail.com I've got one guy in Canada who seems pretty interested but no deal as of this morning. It's a good cheap banjo.

Seth, this English one is still available. For pretty cheap, too.

Clifton Hicks

Very nice! Bet its nice and light too

Intro music is "On the Road Somewhere" learned from George Gibson. When I asked George about this song he casually mentioned, "It was recorded under another title by them boys from Virginia." He was referring to Carter and Ralph Stanley's traditional bluegrass hit, "I've Got a Mule to Ride."
