Great Idea, John !!!

From R.D. Lunceford on 11/29/2011 9:23:33 AM

I'm notorious for no sound files or pics on my homepage, but maybe this will motivate me to get up to snuff.

Like I said in the H.C. Dobson thread, my banjo (#6412) is identical to John Balch's except for having a standard heel.  Also, a six-pointed star inlaid on the dowel rather than the three dots, and a six-pointed star and crescent moon on the peghead.  Possibly custom inlay.

Thanks for the group John.

R. D. this topic comes up frequently. As I found with my other groups, I think it is a good idea to create a centralized place to link all the related materials and discussions.

It is gonna make me wish I had not sold my Dobson banjo ...oh well ...I can't keep them all.

Hey, John. They are not rare or expensive so maybe you'll have another one soon.

Headstock on Dobson Silver Bell
Linked by Newl Post 9 years ago: Another photo of my recent purchase. Strange shape, eh? I'm skeptical that the "ears" on top are original.
