I'll be in London over Xmas to visit my in-laws. Does anyone know of a place to rent or borrow an open-back banjo in the Big Smoke? I'll be there from 21/12 to 3/1. I'm a beginner clawhammer player.

Thanks,

Ethan.

	Remsleep says: 12/4/2017 2:11:59 PM Hobgoblin don't have anything in stock to rent at the moment, but the fellow I spoke with said they might get something in and I should call nearer the time to see if I got lucky. Meanwhile, Phil Alexander at John Alvey Turner has said he can get me sorted and a very reasonable price.
