Great video, Amos!

Makes me a bit nervous to have such an ancient complaint thread maintained... undoubtedly their online ordering system has undergone a revision or two in the past decade!

A couple of comments...

I got my first vintage banjo from Elderly almost 30 years ago, corresponding by snail-mail from Alaska to get help choosing an instrument for a new player. The service was amazing. In less-complicated (and online) orders since, I've never had any trouble.

I notice a comment above about Ramsey banjos perpetually "on order, delivery date unknown". I just learned from our local banjo dealer (The Folk Shop) that some makers (we were discussing Chuck Lee, particular) have arrangements with Elderly to basically advertise their instruments. These are small shop, custom makers, so the instruments are not necessarily kept in stock at Elderly. Make an inquiry and arrangements will be made -- maybe even a custom instrument for you.
