2018-02-22 13:47:11 +0000 UTCFor those with the interest to do some work themselves, "Complete Banjo Repair" by Larry Sandberg, published in 1992, is still available on Amazon - $9.95 for a used copy. it's a great resource for tinkering with and caring for your banjo.

2018-02-22 09:28:33 +0000 UTCIf you live in Europe or the UK (maybe other places) this is a great place to buy. Pamela or Carole are helpful if you have questions. I have bought several good banjos and some fiddles here over the years. <a href="http://www.instrumentspast.co.uk/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.instrumentspast.co.uk/</a>

2018-02-22 09:21:41 +0000 UTCHello everyone! Like one year ago I found this web page and if you are into building banjos or taking care of old instruments it might be helpful. They have a big variety of parts...maybe it is interesting.

2018-02-22 02:42:26 +0000 UTCI feel embarrassed by how much I spent on a brand new Cedar Mountain banjo! In my defence, I got my first two banjos at a pawn shop. One was thrown in free with the purchase of the other. The neck of the one I payed for cracked at the 5th string peg and the two luthiers I could find in my area could not repair it. I love Stella, my freebee banjo that I set up myself and found all the missing parts for with zero experience(!), but her 5th string peg slips and the luthier/guitar repair guy couldn't find a replacement part. Anyway, this scared me off of buying another old banjo (at least for now!) I needed one that was not going to slow down my progress! I just LOVE old things, though! One day...
