I was the lucky one who purchased Charlie Cushmans Gibson from Larry Perkins.I got the banjo yesterday and EVERYTHING Larry said about the banjo in his ad is true!I have owned close to twenty high end banjos and this banjo is now my favorite.Charlie took time out from his busy schedule and set the banjo up;even putting on a new AMB head.Larry threw in 3 of his CD's full of great music!Now if I could play like Larry or Charlie I'd be all set!

I've done a small transaction with Larry Perkins. He's dead-on about what he's selling and a pleasure to do business with. I'll deal with him any time and recommend him highly as a seller.

You can always count on Larry's banjo knowledge but when you put Larry together with Charlie it has to be a perfect recommendation on a banjo. I couldn't believe how cheap it went.

I bought a great Granada from Larry years ago. I didn't really know him very well at the time, although I had met him. He got great references at the time. I will be a great reference for him too!

You won't find two better guys, or players, than Larry and Charlie. Congrats on the new banjo. . .
