Recently acquired from a close friend of the original owner. The friend had it refurbished in the mid 1960s when the calfskin was replaced, a new bridge installed, and small ruts on the neck filled with inlay. The top of the head was also filled in with pearl just above the Vega logo. Plays and sounds terrific though skin will probably need to be replaced once again due to age. Tuners are fine and neck is a striped maple that is hard to capture in the photos. Pot is also maple with tortise shell trim. Banjo weighs a "hefty" six pounds and is missing one bracket at the base. The person said her friend used to tell stories about his time in Vaudeville during the late 1920s and early 30s and this banjo is a ninety year-old time piece that is ready for another ninety year run. There is no case as it apparently fell apart decades ago. Thu, 23 May 2013 22:26 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/35149 I have an excellent condition Alvarez 4320 Whyte Eagle arch top banjo for sale. This one has a very full and gutsy sound to it. It is not thin and tinny sounding like some arch tops. The neck has a beautifully carved heel and back of the peghead. The banjo is in beautiful shape with very little wear. The neck is straight, shows extremely little wear and the frets are in excellent condition. The action is ideally set, at least for me, making it one of the best necks I have played on. It became my main player in August when I started to play again, leaving my Gibson Earl Scruggs Standard and a Rich & Taylor J.D. Crowe model in their cases. I now have my dream banjo (a Stelling), so I have decided to sell the Alvarez. There is a choice of cases: either an older, hard-shell case in acceptable condition or a ProTec Delta case (offers much more protection. It's the case that Deerings used to be shipped in.)

Thu, 23 May 2013 19:09 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/36534 well this might get interesting? this is a 1970 martin d-18 in wonderfull condition..no cracks/major scratches or major dents!...there are as you can see in the pix a small area below the bridge showing a bit of finish wear and a couple small surface scratches on the back (the camera makes them look worse than they realy are).. other than that the guitar looks very good!...it has a good flat top with no belly!. the top does have some bearclaw in it (kinda hard to see in the pix)..the action at the 12th is less than a nickel and a penny stacked (rubs the 6th string) and is that of a nickel (first string 12th fret) .....the pickguard has been replaced with a new martin pickguard ...I guess the original was in need of replacing.overall I would place the condition at or near 95%..i am not sure if this is the original case or not but if it is? then it also is in great condition..I would consider trading this for a nechville xxv or a nice Gibson banjo or f-5 mandolin..and possibly another guitar...so what you got?...if you have any questions feel free to ask,thanks Thu, 23 May 2013 18:14 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/36516 Hello, I have an all original, unmolested 2005 Gibson RB3 Standard in excellent plus condition. It has no fret wear, scratches, or smudges that I can see. It is a very beautiful banjo. It does have 5th string spikes at 7,8, & 9. Other than that, just pure Gibson. I took it to Arthur Hatfield yesterday to get him to set it up and make it sing, which he did. He took it all the way down and set it up with zero rim pressure from the coordinator rods, adjusted the Gibson/Presto tailpiece, put a new head on and a Hatfield .656 bridge. All this banjo needs is to be played. I am selling it because I need a lightweight banjo. I am going to order one from Arthur with a tone-hoop. It will be three lbs. lighter than a tone-ring banjo. I know he will make me a fine banjo. I have a lot more money in this banjo than I'm asking so please understand that I am pricing it as low as I can sell it for. Whoever ends up with this banjo will have a keeper. If you read this ad earlier, I said I had a short video of Arthur picking my banjo and perhaps I could send it if he is ok with that. The more I thought about that and after a couple of request it kinda felt weird to send a video of Arthur that I don't have his permission. He was just trying out my banjo and I asked him if I could video him with my phone. He said sure but I didn't ask him if I could use it as advertising for my banjo. I have thought better of it and decided not to send that to anyone. I apologize for offering something that I should not have. I I can attempt to make a sound file or a short video of me playing it but I promise that it won't be near as good. Nevertheless, I'd rather do that than do something that I may regret. Friends are worth a lot more than money or banjo! Thanks, Randy. Thu, 23 May 2013 18:06 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/23205 Hello this is Caleb, Dwight's son, & I am again selling dad's Instructional DVD's. Shoot me an email if you have any questions! First Volume: Just Rhythm: West Virginia Clawhammer Banjo Instruction taught by Dwight Diller Basic Instruction for See samples of Dwight’s teaching methods: Beginner to Intermediate Rhythm <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/dwightdiller" target="_blank">youtube.com/user/dwightdiller</a> “It's about rhythm...you have to catch the rhythm to play old time music. The notes will come later.” Those who are familiar with Dwight Diller's teaching have heard him say this numerous times. Those who are new to his teaching will hear him say this again and again. In this DVD, Dwight demonstrates how one learns the rhythm and dynamics of the old time music of Central West Virginia. He demonstrates the body mechanics of rhythm as it pertains to his unique style of banjo playing. This is done by verbal instruction, slow and normal motion of the right hand and arm, and the interplay between right and left hand. Dwight brings over 40 years of teaching experience and banjo playing to this session. “I want you to receive help with the most important part of playing the old Appalachian music--rhythm. Rhythm counts for 95% of the old music and this tutorial will help you start to understand it. This is my own style, which I have developed over 4 decades of teaching clawhammer banjo.” The following tunes are played to explain the use of rhythm, not taught as tunes. In order of playing: Mole in the Ground gCGCD Sally Ann gCGCD Boil Them Cabbage Down gDCBD Cripple Creek gDGBD Frosty Morning gDGCD Black-eyed Suzie/Cindy gCGCD Arkansas Traveler gCGCD Shelvin Rock gDGBD Jimmy Johnson/Cluck Ol Hen/Lisa Jane gDGBD Chicken Reel gCGCD Shakin Down the Acorns gDGCD SAD f#ADAD Sail Away Ladies fDGCD Black-eyed Suzie gCGCD Abe's Retreat gDGCD Dwight Diller's Just Rhythm Instructional DVD, taught by old time legend Dwight Diller, is especially geared for the beginning clawhammer banjo student, but is beneficial to any picker at any level who is interested in capturing the "Diller" rhythm. This dvd, shot in beautiful Pocahontas County WVa, takes the student through the basics of Dwight's right hand rhythm technique. Each motion is broken down verbally and teamed with close up visuals to provide an excellent learning experience. Each DVD is $20 + shipping. Thu, 23 May 2013 17:59 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/25183 Hello this is Caleb, Dwight's son, & I am again selling dad's instructional DVD's. Shoot me an email if you have any questions, would like to order or have any questions!! Each DVD is $20 + shipping. Fourth Volume: Modal Clawhammer Banjo Instruction This 80 minute video is recommended for intermediate level students. This style of picking has many names like "Clawhammer".but basically is a 19th century down-stroking style. It is highly recommended that students become familiar with Dwight's sense of rhythm before trying to work on tunes. As for the tunes themselves, they are guaranteed to be different from the sources, and they will be a little different each time Dwight plays them. This is why so much time must be spent learning the tradition behind the old music. By the way, the term "modal" refers to type of musical scale used which is seldom heard today but was popular in the past centuries. This music resonated with the people and reflected their deeper thoughts.

The tabs were transcribed from the tunes Dwight plays on the accompanying CD. These tabs are for the audio disc only--Dwight doesn't teach with tabs but was involved with this project to answer the needs of many of his students. Once this was a paper book but it was too costly to print so we've gone to this format. The e-book is not just tabs but many of Dwight's personal collection of photos of the Hammons family, himself as a young man, and views of the area.

I'd be keeping it, but I recently got a Nechville and it does everything I need (at least for now). The Heartland is a great banjo in great shape. It's as close to mint as a used banjo can get. The head does show a bit a playing wear as you can see in the pictures. The frets, finish and back of resonator all look like new. Spikes at 7,8 and 9. Ivoroid tuners. I've been using a Gator bag so the case is literally new. Originally price was $2,695. My price is $1,800, or best reasonable offer. Shipping of your choice, at your expense, anywhere in the continental US. I don't want to deal with shipping out of the country due to the risk of damage or customs. 48 hour approval. PayPal ok if you pay the fee. You pay shipping if you choose to return the banjo. Full refund, less shipping, as long as banjo is return in same condition as shipped. Check out Robin's website and his reviews here on BHO. I think you'll find this is a bargain price for a great high end banjo. Robin is one of the great builders who has been around a long time. Please contact me if you have any questions.
