A year or so I ordered 6 of these in the two sizes I felt most likely correct. I have just ordered 6 more in the size I settled on as I find them to be superior to any other thumb picks I have tried. The shorter throw might be the only thing to get used to and now a plastic thumbpick feels like a dull paddle when I play. I am glad to have been able to order the extras just to put away as I don't expect to use any other pick and wanted to be sure I had a large stock.

I had been wanting a Piccolo banjo for awhile and stumbled across Will Mosheim www.seedersinstruments.com and he made one. The sounds the little bugger spits out is both clean and much more volume than I would expect from such a small banjo.

It was perfect.
Setup Rating: not rated
Will was very easy to work with and super responsive throughout the build process. I tried to leave him some artistic room to move and he took that room and made a banjo that is truly a piece of art. The woodwork is finely done.
Appearance Rating: 10
The hardware seems to be of very high quality.
Reliability Rating: not rated
I've only had it a week and am adjusting a bit to the small size but the little banjo sure sounds good. Will was very easy to work with and the banjo exceeded my fairly high expectations.
