John, I met you in the mercantile in Todd late yesterday (the Concord/ NC State group) I really enjoyed the story in this video and looking forward to talking with you again.
Im very interested in purchasing a mountain banjo from you. I emailed you about it today, but im curious as to the cost. I lost my job recently due to my health, and i can only afford about $430. If thats too little i would completely understand because your instruments are wonderful. Thank you for sharing this video.
2:24 ... this is nearly identical to the type of banjo I saw in a Firefox collection (I forget which volume) back in the '80's that showed how to make one.. I so wanted to build one of my own, but mounting and stretching a skin had me stumped so I stuck to Mountain dulcimers and now I build cigar box guitars!🤣
Great banjo playing that enhanced the brilliant craftmanship . I want to restore an old 4 strings French banjo with closed pot ( ext.diam is 280 mm and inner.diam is 260 mm .) The original head (skin diam. 20 cm ) is damaged and the heavy metalic support is not in good shape . I would like to replace this parts but standard supplies don't fit . If you have any idea , advice or material I shall be honored of some answer . Thanks .
Hey Kent. Thanks for your interest in my banjos. I am pretty far behind at the moment, and am not taking orders for awhile. If you want to emil me through my website, I can lead you to other builders. Thanks.
Most people would recommend starting with frets, it's a little bit like training wheels on a bicycle. You can of course start with fretless, but it is without question more difficult - but not impossible!
hey john i was just checking videos on how to install ahead on a tack head banjo and found this. good video. i'm going to carve the pot and neck on this one
This man makes some of the best mountain banjos I've played. I'm too poor to buy one, but I stop by his stand every time he comes by our state fair
How much do they go for?

Great video by a very interesting maker.
