Butch, thanks for posting this. I just want to say how much I have been enjoying your banjo playing recently, Dusty Miller, Grey Eagle and Washington County being my favorites so far. I had Tim build me a custom banjo two years ago and it turned out wonderful. He was a pleasure to work with and did some custom work that I'm not sure a lot of other builders would have approached. Hopefully I can get to play one of your models at some point.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing--I really enjoyed your interview on the Picky Fingers podcast. I think your mentions of Fred Van Eps as an inspiration are always interesting. The new banjo sounds great.
