Looking for a Bishline Danny Barnes

eric@banjohangout.org — Mon, 8 Jun 2026 16:11:01 CST

The wait for a new one is of unknown length. I've got my name on the list, but not sure if I'll be waiting just months, or years. So in the meantime, if anyone who isn't a scammer has a good condition Danny Barnes laying around that they'd consider selling, let me know!

Wanted…celluloid 5th string fiction peg & bone tail piece

eric@banjohangout.org — Fri, 5 Jun 2026 04:52:16 CST

Hello.

I have a beautiful old Nelsen banjo. Sadly, it’s missing the original celluloid 5th string peg.

Does any one have one for sale?

Also, (probably a long shot)…how about a decorative bone tail piece like the photo I have attached?

Thankyou
Craig (England)

Paramount Style A tenor banjo parts

eric@banjohangout.org — Thu, 21 May 2026 15:07:18 CST

Hi all,
I acquired a late 1920’s Paramount Style A tenor banjo. I’m searching to find the original Page “8” shaped tuners for this banjo. I have read that there are two styles. Also searching for the proper tailpiece for this model which I believe as a “Paramount Lange Tailpiece” I have tried to find even decent pictures but those seem also scarce. I have been a 5-string bluegrass player most of my life, so I know more about those banjos than the tenors- any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Am I doing this right? First time seller - Rickard banjo

eric@banjohangout.org — Sat, 9 May 2026 17:30:03 CST

Hey there. I have never sold a banjo here before. (To be honest, I've never sold a banjo - only ever traded or given them away!)

Is this ad descriptive enough? I tried to answer all the questions I'd have if I were buying this, but did I miss anything?

And did I set a reasonable price? There's not a lot of sales history to go on for used Rickard banjos.

Capo search

eric@banjohangout.org — Sat, 9 May 2026 03:42:01 CST

I am looking for a particular banjo capo. I have know idea what brand it is. Years back, a friend of mine had a Paige 1st to 4th fret style banjo capo. It was not a Paige. It was just that style. It was chrome and it had a adjustment knob that was about as round as a quarter. It also had a pad for the back side of the neck that was also round and curved for the back of the neck. It had a flip down latch for the front bar. The capo was very rounded and smooth. Almost like a Elliot capo. The C-shape of the capo was rounded and very smooth. This capo was very streamline and compact. Does anyone have any idea what capo that could have been? I always liked it and I got to thinking about it this week and I decided to try and find one like it. Thanks so much in advance. Ron.

Hi Folks, This is Kim Dieterichs at Bucks County Folk Music Shop outside of Philadelphia PA. A customer came to us with several volumes (about 14) of old sheet music and instruction booklets for the tenor banjo (jazz, etc.) that they no longer want. If you are interested, I will connect you and the owner to hash out pricing, shipping, etc.. I will try to post a few pictures here of some of the booklets (cover page only and I can only post 3 pictures). I can be reached here on BHO or at "Questions@BucksMusic.com". Many thanks!

New to selling a banjo - is my ad descriptive enough?

eric@banjohangout.org — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 17:42:32 CST

I recently posted my 1974 Gibson RB250 here in the classifieds. Based on information I have found online, I think its asking price is at the lower end of the range, but you only know the asking and not the selling price.

I’m looking for some feedback from experienced buyers/sellers on the ad, price, description and photos.

I have purchased a banjo previously here on the Hangout and since I knew I wanted a specific Recording King model, I didn’t need a lot of description. I also bought it from an instrument dealer so it was a good experience. It went great, happy with that banjo (and thanks @John Boulding for the setup) , however it’s not a great data point to help create a useful ad.

Middleman woes

eric@banjohangout.org — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 07:55:55 CST

I had a banjo listed, I had a buyer overseas, who involved a middleman. The Middleman contacted me and wanted me to lower my asking price for the Banjo. I declined and the transaction never happened
never heard from the buyer again. What is the job of the middleman? Do they negotiate a lower price? The buyer never asked me to lower the price in fact didn't ask any specific Questions about the banjo or transaction. ( I thought it was a little strange).
Could it be? the buyer and the middleman were same person. I don't get it. I understand the middleman charges a fee, if I lower my price would that be more profit for the middleman? I never had anything like this before happen. I thought I had an overseas buyer, maybe I didn't.

About Us

The Banjo Bolster was invented by husband and wife team - Ric and Deb Hollander. Ric's passion for the banjo and Deb's love of sewing and other crafts have combined over the years to explore creative ways of controlling the banjo's overtones.

When not sewing, Deb enjoys knitting, crocheting and doing macrame.

Ric is also a luthier and focuses on repairing vintage banjos and other stringed instruments. His extensive knowledge of stringed instrument construction and acoustics gives him a unique perspective in approaching the control of banjo overtones.

Ric has built several high-end home recording studio environments and has acquired a deep understanding of how to maximize room acoustics, especially in small spaces, to achieve professional results. You can hear samples of his recordings on Banjo Hangout, all of which were made in a spare bedroom studio that was optimized for recording.
