Congrats to Marshall E Bloom of Hamilton, MT, John Miller of Moorhead, MN, and Larry Mapow of Millville, winners of our drawing for a Banjo Bolster and Grab Pouch! (Marshall, the grand prize winner, will also receive a Banjo Bolster hat.)
The Banjo Bolster is a patent-pending device that enhances any banjo’s tone by transparently removing undesirable overtones while preserving the full power and frequency response of the instrument. The Grab Pouch holds your key accessories so you can easily grab everything you need to play, in one shot!
Congrats on your win, everyone, and thanks to Banjo Bolster for sponsoring the giveaway.
