What an impressive tone to that banjo Leon. It matches a classic finish and looks a great candidate for an heirloom instrument.
I'm sure the customer cant wait to hold it... like I cant wait to hear you play mine!
Merry Christmas to you Leon and to the other expectant customers of the last batch of 2014!
Kind regards

That Dobson banjo looks fantastic Leon.Wish it was mine.The Dixie and the modified huckleberry are still giving me as much pleasure as always and learning more tunes.....two favourites are Red Haired Boy which you play on you tube and Planxty Denis O Connor if you know it,Michael Miles does a lovely version.All good things to you and yours for 2015 and I reckon you're gonna do alright making those beautiful banjos.Regards ...Andrew, South Wales
