chip a Frank Proffitt banjos (97* d) RE: Frank Proffitt banjos 14 Jul 03


Jan Davidson, director of John Campbell Folk School has one. He left it for me to play at a jam a few months back and it was a great little banjo. The inner sleeve looks to me to be a piece of stovepipe! I had a similar banjo for years which was built by Gordon Parris from Hayesville, N.C. It had a sleeve made of 6" pvc pipe! Stovepipe is the superior tone ring!

For those of you not familiar with the Folk School, have a look at thier website. Just the place for your next vacation. Ask Jan to let you see the Proffitt banjo when you get there.
