My Instruments:
1981 Stewart-MacDonald Diamond Eagle mahogony flathead that I built myself. After several modifications over the years it currently has a Price tailpiece and a Snuffy Smith bridge. The old flathead has real presence, It can cut through when called upon. - - -

My second banjo is 1929 Gretsch open back with a generic asian five string neck (to replace the tenor neck).- - -

And just traded my 2003 a NOS Gibson RB250 for a 1989 RB3 Standard inlay. The tone of the pot of the RB3 is really interesting to me.

Other Instruments:
Martin DM six string- - -
Johnson dobro (totally hot rodded)- - -
"Rogue" A style mandolin- - -
Two banjo uke (soprano and concert)- - -
A soprano pineapple uke

Favorite Bands/Musicians:
All time favorite band is the Seldom Scene. To me Ben Eldridge is my absolute favorite among bluegrass players. Also a big Dave Evans fan. Ken Baldauf (see my biography) is another longtime favorite. I like most bluegrass but lean toward acoustic arrangements of non-traditional songs using bluegrass instruments.

Today I tried to write a new biographical section for my BHO hangout biography. I had it in paragraphs but the formatting removed those (sorry). It was something I have wanted to do for a while. Had people to thank and remember. It was a worthwhile excercise for me. These are great days. The BHO is a fun place to interact with other banjoist. See you in the forums.

His by grace alone,

Kevin Barnsdale
