Thanks to the Banjo Bolster, my friend's stuffing days are past and gone. Delighted with her newfound freedom, she now whiles away her time learning how to play the instrument she once hid behind.

Hi Alex!

Thanks for your ongoing interest in the Banjo Bolster and for checking out this thread. 

I did post this graphic a while back on another thread. I wasn't sure if folks frequenting this one had seen the older one, so I posted it again here.  Don't worry though, I have LOTS of new ones in the queue!!!! I'm having a blast making them and I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying them too!

Have a great weekend!

The Banjo Bolster is the Golden Ticket to launching banjo tone into truly gorgeous sonic realms.

Aesthetically designed, and with a comfortable feel, the Banjo Bolster nestles inside the back of a banjo, creating a phenomenally sweetened sonic experience.

I always hoped, but never knew until now, that the tone of banjos could be so easily transformed.

The Banjo Bolster is the Golden Ticket to A New Golden Banjo Age.

The Banjo Bolster is truly revolutionary in the magical way it so ravishingly seduces radiant tones from a banjo.

Hi Everyone, just a quick note:

She was kind enough to share her insightful review of the Banjo Bolster with us today.

For those of you using conventional stuffing methods and wish you could get more volume and tone from your banjos - please read this wonderful testimonial we just received from Kate Dwyer:

“I play in a contra-dance band and in the past I’ve often felt like I’m working so hard to be heard I should take anything out that I’ve stuffed inside the pot to deal with overtones. No more.This is such a well thought out product. There’s no weight to it. It sits back there along the inside of the pot, but it’s not stuffed against the head, muffling your tone. All the sound is still there, but without the overtones. The Banjo Bolster isn’t a cosmetic solution you buy to upgrade from your husband’s gym sock wedged back there between the dowel and the head. You buy this because it’s a way more effective sound solution.

Ric and Deb have engineered a great product that’s nicely finished.

So get one. You’ll be glad.”

- Kate Dwyer, Nevada City, California

And another just received from John Schneider:

"Ric and Deb,

After a month or so since receiving your first bolster and then the next two just recently, I am still  enthralled at the clarity and volume that they bring to each string! My Deering Goodtime has been elevated to Pisgah quality, and my Pisgah is now sounding heavenly!"

- John Schneider, Salt Lake City, Utah

I found a dramatic improvement in tone with my bolster. Thanks!

I had read about the Banjo Bolster and watched Hillary's video and figured it was yet another gimmick. Then I heard it being used at Clifftop. The player Bill, played with and without the device. The difference was remarkable. It sounded as if the Banjo Bolster vacuumed up all the weird overtones of his already lovely banjo and what emerged sounded clean and curiously a bit louder. It ain't just a pair of underwear stuffed in the back. I ordered a couple, not a pair.

Thanks Tony!

Check out Mandy Tyner's (Banjo Lemonade) video review of the Banjo Bolster!

Thanks Mandy!!!

One problem (the only problem!) I’ve had with my Banjo Bolsters is that my belly pushes the bolster against the head, dampening it more than I want and sort of defeating the purpose of this wonderful invention. But after weeks of musing and several trips to hardware stores, I have found the answer.

Velcro One-Wrap ties work wonders. Simply loosen or remove the lug bolts, slip through the opening on the velcro, and roll the bolster up in the velcro.

The bolster stays off the head forever more.

Hi, bigleaf!

Ric at Banjo Bolster turned me on to your solution when I asked him about my pot pushing the bolster too far into the banjo's pot.  Can't wait to get to the store to get the Velcro ties.  Looks great.  Thanks

Fabulous, Douglas! Let me know how it goes.

Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun!

I've discovered that my Banjo Bolster addiction is incurable. I'm just going to have to learn how to live with it, at least for the foreseeable eternity. When I started using Banjo Bolsters in my seven banjos, I immediately noticed a dramatic change in their tone: FOR THE BETTER!

This tonal transformation blissed me out, whetted my appetite, and led the greedy little beast in me to wonder: If one can do this, what can two do? 

Inevitably, I had to charge full-on into the ‘what can two do?’ mystery. And guess what? [drum roll] It turns out, I liked two better than one: one in the lower half of the rim, and one in the upper. 

Ah well... at least it's a healthy addiction. I rationalize my uncontrollable cravings for ravishing sounds, knowing the doubly pleasing tones from two Banjo Bolsters in every pot, make me feel Groooovy...
