He was the subject of a recent documentary on American luthiers. In one scene, Reiter is shown toiling away in his shop, framed by the wooden pots, hanging rims and long wooden necks of his creations. The filmmaker asked him what part he liked best about making banjos. He looked up from his work and grinned. "When the check comes." Hang on, Bart. It's coming." I LOVE IT ...glad to see that HONESTY , PRACTICALITY (not to mention: QUALITY and VALUE), appeal to you as much as they do to me. BEST WISHES!
