They are a little light for my picking. I will only sell them as a set of 9. Thu, 9 Feb 2012 10:07 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=26601 Offered is an Original Prewar Gibson hard shell case (manufactured by Gieb) for a 5 string or plectrum banjo. I bought this awhile back from another Hangout member who had it on eBay (link provided). I have taken its description from that listing: This old case shows its years in the wear to the tolex covering, but it's still quite functional. The hinges and latches all work fine. The cover on the handle is cracked, but the metal inside is intact and capable of handling the weight of a 'Mastertone' style banjo. This case is best suited for a 5 string banjo with a tension 5th string peg, but as you can see in the pictures a banjo with a geared 5th peg will fit as well (The Granada in the case is NOT included in the auction-it's pictured ONLY to demonstrate that a Gibson Mastertone 5 string banjo fits in the case). These Old Pre War 5 string cases are rarely offered, this one is available for 250.00 add 15.00 shipping in the continental U.S. only.

Parts are cut, polished, and assembled by hand and individually tested to ensure consistent quality. The force required to attach or remove some mutes can move the bridge. Instead, Mike’s Banjo Mute goes on and off easily. The hook of soft aluminum holds firmly but gently to the cutouts in the bridge while solid brass rests on top to very effectively mute the banjo to a level that won’t disturb others in close proximity. Fixed nylon screws that won't move or scratch the bridge hold it snugly in place. With the mute on, your banjo plays slightly quieter than a guitar at normal volume so it becomes a great play along instrument. It generates no string buzz or metallic sound and offers an enhanced sustain. It relieves your spouse of hearing the 300th rendition of Foggy Mountain Breakdown, or the fumbling twangs of a song in early practice. It’s great for midnight and early morning pickers and those playing away from home in a hotel room or office. Mike’s Banjo Mute completely detaches from the banjo for regular play to avoid any unwanted overtones. Mike’s Banjo Mute has a low 3/8” profile above the bridge, avoiding any interference with proper hand positioning during play. With its convenient petite size (2 ¾ x ¾ x ¾) and protective storage bag, Mike’s Banjo Mute fits in any case and easily travels with you wherever you go. Orders are shipped in one business day after receipt of the funds. Try it for a week. 7 day money back guarantee less S&H ($30 refundable). Be sure to check out the review of Mike's Banjo Mute in the June 2008 issue of The Banjo NewsLetter.

I was so frustrated by set screws that wouldn't stay set. They would slip. I would be playing and go right through the note that I thought was set. I had to un-set EVERY TIME I needed to retune even a little !! Then I had to hold up the jam or show while I RE-SET them all over again AND HOPED THAT I GOT THEM RIGHT !! Then there were the Cam style tuners that required a gigantic hole through BOTH peghead & pearl inlay. I never liked the idea of drilling 2 huge holes into the front of a gorgeous inlay pattern. ALL THAT IS HISTORY NOW WITH THE APOLLO "D" TUNERS !!! These are just SOOOO SWEET !! ALL METAL CONSTRUCTION !! PRECISION DESIGN & OPERATION !! CHOICE OF (3) STYLE BUTTONS !! > PEARLOID IS STANDARD > BLACK & IVOROID 5.00 extra Check out the VIDEO (down below) for MUCH MORE INFORMATION or CALL ANYTIME TO TALK !!

As a banjo player of 40 years, I've always been frustrated by the tone loss when a capo is used. No matter what kind or how much I paid, this problem always occurred. Also, the frustration of tuning was even more of a problem. While I knew that tone would be lost, it was always an adventure in tuning when the capo went on. Sometimes I'd get lucky but usually I had to tweak the strings by stretching them either in front or behind the capo. The last resort was using the tuning pegs. That ALWAYS meant re-tuning again after the capo came off. Even with practice, these two nagging problems were always a detriment to the enjoyment of playing the banjo. The NEW BILT-RITE Banjo Capo HAS SOLVED BOTH PROBLEMS !!! This capo was recently invented by Coy Willis, inventor of the Apollo "D" Tuners. He has 40 patents to his name and REALLY solves problems for us banjo players. The APOLLO "D" TUNERS are now being looked at by MANY players who are simply frustrated with the accuracy and inconvenience of always having to mess with thumb screws. Also, they are elegantly designed and precision machined like nothing you've seen before. These 2 products alone have changed my banjo playing ! Now then, getting back to this REMARKABLE CAPO !! The tone is actually enhanced, the sustain and ring is incredible, and the accuracy of the original tuning is duplicated exactly !! To put it plainly; THE TONE, POWER, RING, CLARITY, SUSTAIN, AND TUNING IS BEYOND BELIEF !!! I use this capo all evening long at jams and NEVER, that's right, NEVER have to do anything except fine tune the 5th string. I now actually look forward to ANY song requiring a capo because I KNOW how much my banjo will ring and dominate a jam. I will NEVER EVER use another capo again !!! Why would I want to use a capo that requires me to continue to tune my banjo when I can use this capo and be ready to play immediately ? At first glance, I thought this capo looked very different. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT IT WORKS SO WELL THAT I DON'T EVEN NOTICE IT !!! IT ALSO FLIPS FLAT TO STORE IN YOUR SHIRT OR PANTS POCKET !! Once you use this capo, I firmly believe you will also agree to how great your banjo will sound and how perfectly your banjo stays in tune while capoing. This capo works with a PAIGE STYLE capo or any capo with a yoke such as Huber, Katz Eye, Elliott, Showcase Etc. > You simply remove the rubber sleeve from the shaft and slide this capo attachment on. It is made from heat treated SPRING STEEL and will not lose tension. It holds firmly forever !! The tabs or fingers of this capo actually hold the strings right on top of the fret giving you PERFECT TUNING WITHOUT PULLING THE STRINGS AND ALSO ENHANCING THE TONE !!! I prefer to use a BLACK PAIGE as it virtually disappears. THIS IS A "B" CAPO FOR A FLAT FINGERBOARD !!! You can order the WHOLE UNIT for 75.00 which includes shipping or 50.00 FOR THE ATTACHMENT which includes shipping. It slips on the square shaft after taking the rubber sleeve off. A COMPLETE DIRECTION SHEET COMES WITH EACH ORDER. ONCE YOU TRY THIS CAPO IT WILL CHANGE YOUR PLAYING !! SEND A CHECK OR MONEY ORDER TO THE BELOW ADDRESS OR SEND PAYMENT TO THE PAYPAL ADDRESS BELOW. 45 dollars for the attachment > OR > 65 dollars for the whole unit Bill Adams 3977 Wintergreen Place Waldorf, MD 20602 301-848-1864 cell (leave message) PAYPAL & HOME e-mail hpytrls@comcast.net WORK e-mail wbadams@smcps.org CHECK OUT OUR NEW WEBSITE > www.graceoleopry.com Thu, 9 Feb 2012 05:11 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=26724 I'm looking to acquire a few of those 70's Dunlop nickel silver fingerpicks, .025.

Mon, 6 Feb 2012 08:38 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=26596 Lightly used pair of Sammy Shelor wide band stainless steel finger picks. 30 bucks shipped in the lower 48. Mon, 6 Feb 2012 07:20 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=4350 Designed with a wrap that's worn over or straddles the knuckle, the pick nevertheless emerges where the thumb pick normally emerges. This results in a thumb pick with the Perfect Touch. Extremely comfortable and functional, the Perfect Touch Thumb Pick is so stable, one can play hard rhythm without fear of the pick being dislodged. The old style thumb pick wrap clamps the thumbnail so tightly the blood flow is usually cut off, resulting in a painful playing experience. If not clamped tightly enough, the pick will simply dislodge, usually at the most inopportune moment. The Perfect Touch Thumb Pick may be worn for long periods of time without the least amount of discomfort. As with all Perfect Touch Products, The Perfect Touch Thumb Pick comes with a lifetime guarantee against wearout.

Sat, 4 Feb 2012 12:14 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=26179 This is a very rare opportunity to buy BRAND NEW still in their packing tubes, 1970's nickel-plated Dunlop fingerpicks. I have forty (40) in the .025 size, and twenty (20) in the .0225 size. What makes these picks desirable is the longer blade length, and also that the outer edges of the bands do not have holes in them like the modern ones so they don't pinch your skin. Simply put you will probably never find new ones again. JAN. 25, 2012 UPDATE: I'm open to money offers, or straight up trades for Gibson parts. I have three (3) tubes to sell with twenty (20) picks per tube. Fri, 3 Feb 2012 19:56 CST
