I see on Elderly Instruments, Coming Soon for all of Bart's models. I'm assuming he is still building, can anyone confirm this?

But recently on facebook, he posted photos if a new batch in the works. Seems like he got into a building mood - and headed back out to the shop. Personally I hope Bart will continue building - completely on his own terms. I'd love to see him make a few banjos whenever the mood strikes him. Maybe even make some custom one-off banjos. BUT I think the supply of new Reiter banjos may be very limited. If you want one and Elderly can supply it - pull the trigger. ;<)
