proper member.

I feel like a proper member of this group now. Just bought a Red Fox, 9 years old but mint, still has original strings, Thanks for putting in a spare set Geoff. My playing is still rubbish but  better sounding rubbish. I absolutely LOVE it  (the banjo)

You will fall in love with it if you have not already. Better banjos are more fun. When you hit a few good ones, it's ecstatic. That's the biggest downside to cheap banjos - you can play well and it still doesn't sound that well.

Boy are you gonna have fun! Geoff knows a thing or two about building banjos. I love my Red Fox!

Once you go Stelling, you never go back. Sure you'll get other banjos, but seldom does anyone get rid of their Stelling.
Oh, you might want to invest in a set of strings..... ;)

The medium lights or what they call "almost medium" from GHS sound great on my Masters Cross. PF 175 or 185.

Congratulations Derek!
You will hear things on this one that you don't
hear on other banjos! Take my word for it.

I think I might have seen it on BHO and mentioned to someone that they should try to stretch for it. They were shopping cheaper Stelling models. But I thought it was a great opportunity. Congrats. Good score. You get olympic 10.

Was the seller the one from Delaware in BHO classifieds?? That looks like another really nice Fox.

You couldn't have bought a better or even nicer banjo than the Red Fox. As far as I'm concerned, it's taken the place of the Staghorn in good looks. Now, they all sound great so you could have had the same great sound with, say, a Bellflower. But what the heck - go hog wild with a great looking banjo, too.

Waiting on my luthier with a new nut from Geoff on the Masters Cross. Lonely. Can't wait to get it back and back together. Needed a cleaning anyhow. Gold looks better when clean.

Thanks for all of your encouraging comments. I actually bought it in the UK, very rare to find a used one over here.

I agree with Whiskey Mike. I've had my Red Fox for three years and I consider it my terminal banjo.

We are all terminal.
