Jenes Cottrell, an old-time carpenter/wood turner from West Virginia, used to frail a banjo he'd made from native walnut and an aluminum pressure cooker. Add his walnut resonator, and it rumbled like old plumbing.

I've got a 5-string Alum pot banjo that I can't find out who made. The only markings of any consequence are the "Heche en Mexico" type eagle on the end of the neck between the pegs and the Eagle on the resonator with three arrows in the right claw & an olive branch in the left.
There is a list of all asian manufacturers but it has VERY few pictures to tell which manufacturer is which. (www.hawthorne.fastie.net) It's not that I think the thing is worth much, it's just that I'd like to know Who Made It?? It's nice to be able to tell folks what banjo you are playing instead of saying, "I dunno what it is, sounds nice tho..." Heck, I'm about 5 steps from refinishing it and putting MY name on it just so I can give a decent answer.

I recently purchased a Rogue banjo from Music 123. It was marked way down, and dirt cheap, so, I couldn't pass it up. The planetary tuners on it are nice. I had to install a new 5th gear tuner...slipped pretty bad, and my hemp wound didn't last. I put a new tonering in, and this little beauty rocks a billy tune purty durn good! It's a better starter banjo for my students than the one I had years ago when everything slipped! Interesting survey.
