Another beautiful instrument, Tom. At $1899 it's a STEAL! I really like what you are doing, Tom. Keep up the great work!

If I were in the market, that would be it. Good work.

Except for the resonator, it reminds me of an old 75.

IMO the best small american builder banjo for $1899.00. Kudos to Tom and his friends for a fine job bringing these affordable instruments to the banjo player.

Even me a newbie to the banjo can see these are cheap. I doubt the prices will last if the economy turns. Buy low and sell high. I bought one

vtyankee5 - Posted - 12/06/2010:  16:17:00


For $1899 I'd put a Huber Vintage for $435 in the KK-250 banjo. Steve would drool over the chance to upgrade the KK banjo with his tone ring. You end up with a monster Smith/Huber built banjo for $2300. You can sell the 90's Kulesh for $200+ also. Not bad

The killer parts waiting for a new banjo.

Va Picker - Posted - 01/01/2011:  19:04:24


Any sound clips of the 250 anywhere?

Bruce Barnes - Posted - 01/15/2011:  16:38:01


4 to 6 more weeks. The wait hurts.

prewartb3 - Posted - 01/18/2011:  04:46:19


The wait will be worth it. Take it from me

If a person wants a new banjo and don't want to morgage the farm,here it is.

Gillis Cashman - Posted - 01/18/2011:  14:35:59


The best banjo deal around for the money

Getzik9009 - Posted - 01/30/2011:  03:54:49


Sweet banjos. Hope to see more at Joe Val festival soon. No snow predicted

Bruce Barnes - Posted - 02/14/2011:  04:31:12


Received an e-mail this morning. My new banjo will ship this week. Set up by Charlie Cushman. Can't wait :-)

banjoronny - Posted - 02/15/2011:  03:30:11


Another good looking instrument. Some impressive work being done. Keep up the good work Tom. You have super banjos.

Bruce Barnes - Posted - 03/27/2011:  05:08:36


The best banjo I found for the price. Craftsmanship cannot be any better. I am mainly a guitar player and needed a good banjo in our band. We can't belive the people who ask us about the banjo during shows. They want to know so many details. I am having fun playing the banjo more than the guitar on stage now.

AmericanMadeBanjo - Posted - 04/26/2011:  04:06:42



Thank You for the comments. The KK-250 and many other "Affordable Series" banjos will be on display @ Banjo Camp North 2011.


Gillis Cashman - Posted - 05/12/2011:  07:48:02



How do you do it? I love my ESS Standard. Nice job Thanks


Getzik9009 - Posted - 05/16/2011:  05:01:52



First time I played the 250 was at Banjo Camp North this past weekend. Terrific sounding and looking banjos. Tom and Keith were so cool to talk banjos with. Keith helped me with the set up of my banjo and it sounds better than great now. Watching Gabe and Mike play at Toms table was a joy to see. If I could only pick like them some day. Overall at Banjo Camp I had a great weekend. Kudos with the affordable banjos Tom. They look great.

My KK250 tone ring has Kel Kroydon stamped on the face in script.


vtyankee5 - Posted - 06/17/2011:  04:49:22



No waiting for this one.  Some nice banjos to wish you owned.

I own one of the KK250 banjos. I cut another rim for my HR-30 ring for this banjo. I call this one my poor mans Lancaster for under $3K. What a monster of a banjo.


banjotom5 - Posted - 06/22/2011:  13:52:58



Some nice banjos to look at. I'm leaning but not buying yet. I need to decide between mahogany or maple. It's time to upgrade from my goodtime.


prewartb3 - Posted - 06/29/2011:  17:20:46



One of each tongue


Bruce Barnes - Posted - 07/11/2011:  05:09:03



From a guitar player turned banjo picker the Kel Kroydon instruments are great. I've had my chance to see plenty of other banjos that don't compare. Most pickers I meet  say "You've got to be kidding me, you paid what"



Best compliments when other pickers drool on your banjo.



 


Gillis Cashman - Posted - 07/18/2011:  17:44:03



Made by Robin Smith with a Kulesh 90's tone ring with a lifetime warranty.  You can't get any better for $1899 made in our own back yard.


banjerpicker47 - Posted - 07/19/2011:  09:08:40


I just picked mine up in hendersonville, tn last week and love it...great sound and playability and looks great...what more can you ask for !!

Gillis Cashman - Posted - 10/29/2011:  03:56:08



I picked on one of these yesterday. All I can say is WOW.

Put an HR30 in one and make a monster banjo


banjoronny - Posted - 11/21/2011:  04:39:33



I'm asking santa for one this year.


Bruce Barnes - Posted - 01/11/2012:  05:05:07



I met Tom at the beautiful country club where he lives in FL yesterday. We talked music and banjos for a couple of hours at his club pub. A gentleman with a passion for music and banjos. I'm thrilled to know there's another banjo nut within a short driving distance me.

How much difference is there between the 250 and the KK3?

Fishrrman - Posted - 01/13/2012:  18:13:56


"How much difference is there between the 250 and the KK3?"

I'm going to _guess_ that the only differences are the inlay patterns in the head and fingerboard, and the concentric rings on the resonator of the KK3....

Everything else the same.

From the website I gleaned that one has and ebany board and the other rosewood, cant recall which is which. They both look great.

Fishrrman - Posted - 01/14/2012:  15:05:41


"From the website I gleaned that one has and ebany board and the other rosewood, cant recall which is which"

Ah yes, forgot about that.

The KK-250 will have the ebony board (since it "recreates" the RB-250).
The KK-3 will have a rosewood board.
