Call or e-mail for more information. We are interested in all things banjo, and good banjos are always coming and going. We offer repair and restoration of old banjos, stock wacky banjo accessories, and have an extensive selection of books and videos pertaining to banjo. We believe there should be a banjo in every home.

Here's Steve juggling a couple of fine Huss and Dalton bluegrass banjos: a gorgeous sunburst maple banjo in his right hand and a burled walnut banjo in his left hand. Behind him are a couple of Bart Reiters. One in fact, a Whyte Laydie, appears to be growing right out of his head.

Huss and Dalton Owens Mill traditional flathead bluegrass banjos feature Waverly V-2 tuning pegs, 3 ply maple rim, the highly regarded JLS pre-war style tone ring, Scorpion bridges, curly maple binding, the best hardware, perfect intonation, and incredible craftmanship. Huss and Dalton have applied their high end guitar craftsmanship techniques to the banjo. Jeff Huss worked for Geoff Stelling for ten years, and learned his banjo craft well. You've got to see and play these banjos to appreciate them. They compare favorably with the finest banjos ever made and come with arched top Huss and Dalton tweed cases.

Yee Doggies! Shut my mouth! We've been a fan of these banjos since we were just little rednecks. Now we're all grown up and we're just busting to announce that we are now an authorized dealer for Stelling Banjos - arguably the finest bluegrass banjos on the planet. Heck, make that *all* the planets. Yup - no apologies needed. Exquisite handcrafted works of art with legendary tone and volume. Ask Alan Munde, Tony Trishcka, Bill Emerson, and a host of the most tasteful players alive and they will tell you that Stelling is the ultimate banjo. Stelling now uses the Tony Pass 600TS old wood rim as standard equipment on all his new banjos. (Retrofits for older Stellings are also available.) This wood has been lying on the bottom of Lake Superior for over 100 years and could have been hundreds of years old when it was cut down. After a special kiln drying process, this wood is in better than new condition (acoustically speaking) because of the age of the wood combined with the microbiological action to which it was subjected for so many years. It's been said that Stradivarius took advantage of the same process for his violin wood, but for a much shorter time (perhaps only a few years). The result in a new Stelling banjo is awesome. It's been compared to prewar banjos in such a superior way for tone and volume that Stelling now uses these rims as standard equipment on all new banjos. All Stellings have fifth string capo spikes installed at frets 7,8,9, and 10. All Stellings feature wedge-fitted pot assembly, adjustable tailpieces, compensated nuts, Stelling bridges, and buckets of tone. You want the best banjo money can buy? Consider getting a Stelling. And consider getting it from us!!
Stelling	Golden Cross	(NEW) The Stelling Golden Cross banjo.

Originally made of walnut, the current Golden Cross features *fancy curly maple* with the golden sunburst stain. A powerful banjo, like all Stellings, with a crisp pop and singing clarity all over the neck. $4,750	List Price: $4,750		Our Price: $3,795
Stelling	Custom Staghorn	(NEW) The ultimate Stelling Staghorn banjo. The Staghorn has remained one of the most desired banjos in the world and has become the trademark model of Stelling Banjo Works.

The standard Staghorn in exotic *Claro walnut* lists for $6,300. This custom model will have the optional heavy chrome plate hardware ($750) which is much more resistent to tarnish and the player's dream - a radiused fretboard ! ($500) The radiused fretboard on this banjo plays like an entire stick of butter - all over the neck. All other banjos feel stiff after playing this one.

Oh sweet day!@@ We opened the case and were immediately reminded of just how much we love Stelling banjos. This Geoff Stelling fellow is the Wizard of Whack. This is a crushingly good banjo. It arrived in tune and everywhere I look on a Stelling banjo I see those details that really do separate his banjos from the others. Everything is tight. Everything is clean, everything is there for a reason. Tony Pass Old Wood rim, Stelling compensated bridge, dual band tuners, Stelling adjustable tailpiece, 5th string capo spikes, pearl nut for fifth string.

Sullivan Banjos Sullivan banjos come from good stock. After almost 30 years of supplying the finest banjo parts available for builders, manufacturers and home craftsmen worldwide, the Sullivan family now offers a banjo which is unsurpassed in quality and beauty, and has the much sought after tone found in many of the early banjos. Clarity all over the neck and a very strong bass represents the signature tone of these banjos. The wood rims and resonators come from Jimmy Cox. The maple used in these 3-ply rims is the slow growth, cold climate, rock maple harvested on the Canadian border. Old recovered wood and the Tony Pass block rims are an extra cost option. The tonering used is a custom bell metal 20 hole flathead especially designed for the Sullivan banjo. The Sullivan logo is tastefully engraved on the skirt and this tonering is cryogenically treated to 300 degrees below zero for 12 hours to artificially age the metal. No need to have to wait 50 years to get the best sound your banjo can produce. Every part used in the construction of a Sullivan banjo is selected for perfection.

I just wish we could get more of them - The Prairieville model has a brass hoop tone ring. 12” two-ply rim, 5-star tuning pegs, pearl side dots, a no-knot tailpiece and a Renaissance Head. The headstock has a hauntingly serene "lady holding a flower pot" theme. Simple position dots adorn the rest of the neck. A very well thought out visual concept and a yee-haw "let's go dancing" plunky tone. The rim is stained with a translucent reddish stain which matches the red laminations in the walnut neck. Very nice. This one is headed for Scotland!	SOLD

Huss & Dalton	Owens Mill Maple Sunburst	(SOLD) (NEW) Huss & Dalton's 2006 NAMM Show Owens Mill 5 string banjo. This particularly exotic maple sunburst 5 string banjo has great traditional flathead bluegrass tone with lively response all over the neck. One of the great things about NAMM is that everywhere you turn, there is someone who can play "twice as better than I will" as the old song goes. Pictured here with Jens Kruger of the Kruger Brothers, Steve's jaw drops as Jens plays an *even better* version of Cripple Creek than Steve had just played. Jens commented that this was "wow - a very good banjo, VERY VERY good banjo", as he tore all over the neck. He found notes I did not realize a banjo actually had. Want a "VERY VERY good banjo?"

S.S. Stewart	Universal Favorite	(SOLD) (USED) VG+ Circa 1890's - serial # 12208 - stamped S.S. Stewart (Philadelphia, PA) on rim and dowel rod. Very nice old, metal clad thin rim VERY lightly built 5 string banjo. Very good condition. Friction tuners, calfskin head. Sounds great. It came to us for repair and consignment. It was missing a fifth string tuner and the tailpiece had been swapped out and it had some other cosmetic issues. We contemplated a full restoration, but it really didn't and doesn't need much. Do no harm. We come from the "if it aint' broke don't fix it" school of banjo repair, so we just dabbled around the edges. We installed a new (geared) 5th string tuner, a new (No-knot) tailpiece and a set of the LaBella nylon strings which are perfect for these light banjos. We polished the frets and well....this little Lady sings!! Light as a feather with chipboard case.	SOLD
Stelling	Swallowtail	(SOLD)(USED) This marvelous Stelling Swallowtail banjo was sold new here one year ago. Designed by Geoff Stelling and banjo phenom and Irish stylist Tom Hanway, the neck and resonator are made of curly maple and stained with a sunburst Cremona-style finish. A magnificent banjo - really a special instrument with unique tone to match. If you don't play banjo (yet) this is an IDEAL reason to start and you'll never need another banjo. Beyond some tarnish on the nickel parts, this banjo could pass for new. A Stelling Swallowtail lists new for $5,300. This is used (the original paperwork is included but the warranty has been registered to the original purchaser) but you'd be hard pressed to find one in nicer condition. The original case (also in near new condition) is included. This is the Big Daddy of banjos - there are none finer. If you are reading this, we assume you already know about Stelling banjos. They are considered by many to be the finest banjos made. You can read more about them at www.StellingBanjo.com This one is a 2006 model and does include the Tony Pass Timeless Timbre rim. The rims are made from VERY old maple that was submerged in the Great Lakes for 100 years or so. You can read about them at: http://tonypassbanjorims.com/. The tone is well, "timeless" and loud and rich - if you've not played one, there is no way to describe it other than "watch out where you point that thing!!" This is a great banjo for bluegrass but also great for melodic style playing and seems to suit that Irish 5-string stuff (kind of an Irish-Bluegrass hybrid style) that Hanway has popularized. Lists new for $5,300	SOLD
Sullivan	Bardstown	(SOLD) (New) Mahogany resonator banjo - The Bardstown features a highly figured mahogany overlay on the back of the headstock, which perfectly matches the figured mahogany resonator. Forget your perception of mahogany as a "plain" banjo - the figured mahogany on this instrument is downright exotic. The lighest of the three Sullivan banjos with a lot of snarl and snort. Just the ticket.	SOLD
Sullivan	Greenbrier	(SOLD) (NEW) Maple resonator banjo - Cox rim and resonator, Prucha hardware, old style Grover type pancake tuners. Sullivan tonering. All the right parts and excellent construction. Deep, rich tone. Powerful bass on these banjos! The 4th string is a revelation. A fine bluegrass banjo, to be sure.	SOLD
