Cool! That Number 6 B&D silver bell is my all-time favorite style.

I own a similar 1927 example - however without the extended fretboard - acoustudio.dk/BD%20Silver%20Be...7334.html - this will maybe, but only maybe, come up for sale.



Any interest?  And if so - any funds at hand?  These Ladies are extremely costly - LOL!

What chord is Mr. Scheidlmeier demonstrating?



Ab7th?


Polle Flaunoe - Posted - 02/14/2012:  08:18:05



 



Ha-Ha - Yes - the most useless cord at all.  Plus the sole chord setting, that can´t be done with neither the violin or the thumb grip!



Mr. Scheidlmeier - I´m a bit disappointed - from you I would have expected minimum a GbmM7b5add6addb9 or the like.  LOL!

PS!



​His famous B&D Silver Bell No. 9 Ne Plus Ultra - banjoworld.de/High517a.htm - the one with the carved elephant head - was also manufactured in 1927.  If both banjos were given for free - indeed a splendid sponsorship - 450+900=1,350 bucks was a lot of money back then.
