Stelling Banjo history.

I am going to try to upload various stelling banjo articles and catalogs. Allot of this material is getting hard to find. I think it needs to be archived.

I hope you enjoy.

First is the vintage 1979 catalog. I think this was the first stelling banjo catalog. Also some extras (price list,etc).

	CAPT Steve says: 1/25/2012 4:24:13 PM That was fun to look through. They started out, and remain, musical works of art. The Scrimshaw model had some incredible work in it; I'd never seen, or even heard of, that one. Thanks destring for sharing this with us.
	klgera says: 1/27/2012 10:48:40 AM Fun to see that '79 catalog again, I have a catalog dated April of 1978, it is black and white. I also have a price list from April 1976, it came with a sheet of B/W photos of banjos, even a tenor! And somewhere, I have series of letters from Geoff Stelling as we were discussing a banjo to be made. No emails in those days and long distance phoning was expensive. BTW, the banjo I was having made is the Stelling on my avatar.

	klgera says: 1/28/2012 12:06:25 PM Will try to do that, I am in the process of buying a new printer and stuff, so it will be a few days.
