Hey all. I flew down to Nashville from the D.C. area Friday, and immediately headed up to Glasgow to pick up my Celebrity. As advertised, Arthur is an absolute class act and the entire trip was so worth it. I LOVE my banjo, and I picked for most of the ride back to TN.

It is a BEAUTIFUL instrument and it sounds so great. I asked Arthur to play it first, and he did a great job showing me the ins and outs.

The flight back to D.C. Sunday was uneventful (which is a very good thing) and Southwest Airlines was very helpful with my first time flying with a banjo.

I start my lessons Tuesday and I just cannot wait to start picking on this banjo!

People here who encouraged me to make the trip down were 100% correct. Meeting Arthur was a real treat and the entire experience is something I will treasure.

Like all theHatfield owners you will be very happy with your choice of banjo and banjo maker. You will also be amazed at how your new banjo improves quickly as you play it. They just keep getting better. Enjoy!

	krazyspank says: 2/10/2014 6:02:10 AM Try to keep that magic shop dust on there as long as possible! Keep pickin and it will keep sounding better! I keep thinking back to the Hatfield conspiracy Thread. People that don't get to go through the experience of getting the banjo, just don't get it. You have met the maker who has cut, sanded, finished, put together, setup, played it for you , listened to you play it, and did the final tweaking. How many Banjo owners can say that?
