<title>For Sale or Trade: American made banjo NASA aluminum tonering - $250 USD</title>
<author>eric@banjohangout.org</author>
<link>http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/36359</link>
<description>Hi Everyone,

I have for sale or trade one of the American Made Banjo company's NASA aluminum tonerings.  This is a really light tonering (about two pounds lighter than a standard ring) and it sounds pretty good.  It is very clear and even with a great midrange.  I would sell it for $250 shipped or I might be interested in trading it for something, like old nationals or old tailpieces.

Thanks!

<title>For Sale: NICE Gibson Flame Maple Neck - $875 USD</title>
<author>eric@banjohangout.org</author>
<link>http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/36455</link>
<description>NICE Flamed Maple Neck Gibson script name cut for One Piece Flange. This neck was removed from a pre war pot (we assume a converted TB1) it was a style 1 pot. Please note the fifth string tuner is included the 1st through 4th string tuners pictured are NOT included. Ships in the continental U.S. only. Payment via U.S. Postal money order or check. Personal checks must clear before item ships (certified bank check or Postal money order recommended for quicker shipping).

The Style 1 pot this neck was removed from is an AWESOME sounding pot - our intent is to put a different style neck on it - however if someone is interested in the neck as advertised with pot we will sell it in it's entirety at 3975.00 Really hate to part with the pot assembly due to it's awesome sound so the price for the completed banjo is firm and not interested in trades of any kind, There is a small section of the one piece flange missing in the area of the tailpiece and we considered replacing the flange at one point but did not for fear of altering the sound. It is purely a cosmetic thing with the flange. Thanks.</description>

<title>Want to Buy: Want to Buy : Archtop conversion Tone ring , Replacement for Brass Hoop</title>
<author>eric@banjohangout.org</author>
<link>http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/36470</link>
<description>Hi there,

Anybody out there got one of these they might sell?   I've got a hoop tone ring banjo that sounds good, but I'd like to try one of these conversion archtop rings in.  They were made to sit on top of the rim as a drop-in replacement for a hoop.

I know they are pretty rare.  One sold last fall (I think) on the BHO and I dawdled.    More Info URL BHO ad shows one nicely.

If you've got one you're not using lets talk.

Thanks,  John</description>

<title>For Sale or Trade: New Old Stock Weather King Banjo Head (Supposedly Pre EPA) in original box. - $25 USD</title>
<author>eric@banjohangout.org</author>
<link>http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/36478</link>
<description>Well, I purchased this supposed Pre EPA Weatherking banjo head from a fellow hangout member.  I was informed that this was an 11&quot; High Crown head.  It is in fact an 11 1/4&quot; High Crown head.

Anyone out there need one of these as it will not fit my banjo.  I am pretty sure it is a Pre EPA banjo head but the &quot;W&quot; is not one of the ones that has a slanted middle.  I am not looking for great sums of money as it is not the size that will fit my banjos, but thought I would put it on the BHO for a fellow member that could use one in this size.

Thanks

<title>For Sale: CUSTOM  MADE  100  YEAR OLD BARN WOOD SPILLWAY DAM BANJO BRIDGE,  AND MANY OTHER WOOD TYPES TOO - $12.50 USD</title>
<author>eric@banjohangout.org</author>
<link>http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/26894</link>
<description>Spillway Dam Banjo Bridges For Sale

You can choose the type you want from:
The NEW  **CLAWHAMMER SPECIAL** RAISED 5TH STRING** SPILLWAY DAM BANJO BRIDGE
The Original Spillway Dam Bridge
The 100 Year Old Barn Wood Spillway Dam Bridge
The Pineywood Spillway Dam Bridge, with Rosewood Cap
The 50 Year Old Pine Spillway Bridge, with Rosewood Cap
The Douglas Fir Spillway Dam Bridge, with Rosewood Cap
The Maple Spillway Dam Bridge, with Ebony, or Rosewood Cap

The new Clawhammer Special Spillway Dam Bridge with the Raised 5th string is  $14.00 +  $1.50 s/h to lower 48,  $3.00 Overseas, as it takes more work to build than the regular Spillway Dam Bridges.

Regular Spillway Dam Banjo Bridges are $12.50 +  $1.50 s/h, lower 48, and $3.00 s/h Overseas  each, or,

You can also buy a Combo Pack of 3 Different, or the same 3 Spillway Dam Bridges, for  $30 to save you a little money, if you want to try more than 1 type, or have a favorite that you want several of.
And if you want to try them all, you can buy the Super Combo Pack of all 6 different bridges for $55 + $1.50 s/h lower 48,  $3.00 s/h Overseas.

I also build the Minstrel Style Banjo Banjo Bridge out of 100 Year Old Barn Wood, for those that want a 2 foot bridge for Old Time Banjos.  I had several customers wanting me to build them a bridge for their old banjos, and came up with 2 different designs to choose from.  I can also cut the string slots for Nylgut strings if wanted.
I was really surprised at how good the sound was from this design, and sounds good playing either 3 finger style, or clawhammer.  You can include the Minstrel bridges in a Combo Pack, or Super Combo Pack.

Finally, and thanks for staying with me, I also build the Big Foot Banjo Bridge, which is a very unique design that xnavyguy came up from an idea of fellow hangoutmember beegee, that is a very Powerfull Banjo Bridge.  It's the only banjo bridge I have seen that brings out more bass, and treble.  Most of the bridges I've seen, or built will have a better low end, but sacrifice some on the other end, or vise versa, but the Big Foot brings it all out.

They are made with Maple Legs, and 100 Year Old Barn Wood Cross Bar.
I chage a little more to build them,  $20 + $2 s/h, $6.50 s/h Overseas, as it takes a lot more work to build them, but if you want the most powerfull bridge, this is it.


The Spillway Dam Banjo Bridge design was developed by a couple of members of the Banjohangout, xnavyguy, and rollplayer.

After a lot of expermental designs, and testing, this design was one of the best they came up with.

They have given me their permission to build, and sell their design, which I am grateful for.


The design of the Spillway Dam Banjo Bridge allows the string vibrations to go straight down to the banjo head, from each strings. The design of this bridge also prevents sagging, which is common on a lot of traditional bridge designs. I have sold several bridges to Banjohangout Members, with great success. Most customers say they love the tone, increased volume, and note separation, the bridge supplies. They seem to work really well on the cheaper, entry level banjos, but also improve the performance of the most expensive banjos.

This is for one, 4 or 5 String Bridge, that I will build to your size, from 1/2&quot; to 3/4&quot;, and to your string spacing specifications, or for 3 if you choose the Combo Pack


I accept PayPal, Check or Money Order, or contact me if you want to use another form of payment.



Shipping, and Handling, will be a flat rate of $1.50 to the lower 48, and $3.00 s/h Overseas.



With a simple switch of the bridge, I think you will be amazed at how much better your banjo will sound.
