GUEST,Patrick_Costello What Banjo Do You Play? (186* d) RE: What Banjo Do You Play? 30 Mar 08


Update:

My attempts to keep things noncommercial didn't quite work out.

The pricing on new banjos is so outlandish that I decided to start picking up imported banjos, setting them up and offering them at deep discounts to my students.

We started out offering the S101 openback, and when our suppliers ran out of them we switched over to the Tyler Mountain TM5-35. Simple banjos that play pretty well after being set up.

I can put a package with one of these open back banjos, a book, a CD, a DVD, a tuner, gig bag, strap and custom setup for $189.00. We are selling them faster than we can pack 'em up.

We also sold Morgan Monroe open back banjos until our wholesalers ran out of them (we sell a LOT of banjos in the US and UK) and for the price they were really nice. I liked the Cameron a lot.

Once Morgan Monroe was sold out we started looking for a new banjo to offer and wound up launching our own line of banjos. In a few weeks we will begin offering The Somerset County Banjo. Handmade in the USA out of cherry with a WL tone ring for around $850.00 with a case & lifetime warranty.
