Geoff and I co-designed the Stelling SwallowTail Deluxe, with about a 14" radiused fretboard (fingerboard). Geoff decided to make it a production model in both Standard and Deluxe versions. It has Celtic design ideas. I have full details if any one is interested in what went into the making of it.

My banjo tutor has a picture of you with the banjo. Saw it and decided there and then to try to get it. Sold my wife and kids into slavery! Now the proud owner of serial no:6763. I'm originally from Northern Ireland And just thought the Celtic designs were fantastic. It is a superb piece of kit and you both did an excellent job in both design and production. Congratulations

I am just new to banjo hangout but I have found out sO much already. I have a link to stelling because I have just revived a 1979 stelling staghorn which blows me away all be it I am not the best player but I can still appreciate the sound! Anyway thought I would just make contact with you and hopefully catch you at a bluegrass festival someday. The swallow tail is a mean banjo and definatly one I want to add to my collection one day! Good work all the best Duncan.
