primo banjo pots for those who believe that the very best sounding banjos might just be those that have already been made. Why settle for "sounds as good as" when you can have the mystical pre-war sound from a genuine pre-war banjo pot? Life is short. Work Hard, Do Your Best, Keep Your Word, Never Get Too Big For Your Britches, Trust In God and Never Forget a Friend.

Always seeking old banjos, guitars, guitar parts, etc. Been known to trade primo banjo pots for leads resulting in the purchase of high quality vintage guitars, banjos, mandolins, ukes, etc..Top Prices Paid for clean original stuff.
