Thread Name: Orpheum #1 5 string banjo neck repro
Subject: Orpheum #1 5 string banjo neck repro
We're trying find a talented luthier to build a reproduction of a Orpheum #1 5 string neck circa 1920s to modify a tenor.

The gentlemen we left it with 18 months ago isn't getting in closer to doing the job. He's very good, but Susette would like to play the banjo in '08, we had hoped for '07.

So we come to the question:

Can anyone recommend a banjo luthier who can and will build a reproduction of a Orpheum #1 5 string neck to modify Susette's tenor?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
cheers
