Plans To Resume Building Banjos
Tentatively speaking, given a certain amount of improvement in strength and mobility, and due to a fairly high volume of inquiries on the subject, I plan to resume taking a limited number of custom orders for banjos. This will be banjos only, and will be limited as well , to: fretless Mountain Banjos, fretless period Gourd Banjos, and fretless Tack Head Banjos.
At this time the plan is to resume taking orders as of April 1, 2015. Due to continued limited mobility linked to health issues the volume of orders I will be taking will begin in a very limited number and will be subject to change as needed or allowed according to improvement or decline in health.
To those who have already been inquiring concerning this subject, thank you very much for your ongoing support.
Email inquiries may be made as before at : rdmusicmakers@hotmail.com .
