I am sure you are right cardinbanjo, but unless someone already has his email handy he sure is not making it easy to have someone find it.

I'm just waiting for Cliff to come out with "The Embalmer" model or maybe "The Paul Bearer" I'm sure he would bury his competition with those models.

Cliff's website is actually up now and it features a very helpful link entitled "Fitch Banjos History." I'm sorry to see all of this negativity surrounding Cliff (whether he brought it on himself as some suggest or not.) All I can say that as a man who has owned many banjos including a Fitch Palomino with a Nitro Tone Ring and Tony Pass TS 500 Lost Timbre rim Cliff puts together a very high quality banjo. Whether he gets the necks at stage 4, or 3, or 1, or 10 really doesn't matter to me as long as the banjo sounds good, and the Palomino sounded great. Having said that I am also taking nothing away from the other great banjo makers today.

It almost looks there are people who think that banjo building is a popularity contest, and if someone disappoints them in any manner that person becomes rubbish?
Grow up and play your banjos people.

Yes, interesting linguistic tidbit. . . for some reason the verb "to reckon" in this context has largely survived in American English only in the rural south and is considered archaic or "hillbilly", while in British English it is still part of standard usage.

Yes. The word reckon is originally an English word, like when judges do their reckoning at the end of a trial. Apart from that. Does anyone know how many Fitch Banjos were made ?.
