Here we go again, another fun filled year making banjos :) Huge thanks to all my customers for keeping me going!
Plenty of cool banjos lined up so far, I still have 3 or 4 spaces left this year if you fancy ordering a new toy for delivery before next Christmas.
Prices will remain the same until April, but unfortunately there will be a slight increase at the start of the new tax year, to cover the ever increasing cost of materials, so contact me before then if you are contemplating ordering. 

Spent the first half of the week getting Bob's banjo ready for oiling, should be ready for assembly by the end of next week.
Yesterday and this morning I got stuck into cutting inlay for the next few banjos, a few more bits to cut, some filing and they should be ready to inset next week.
