Ome banjo strings medium manual#

I played in my first bluegrass band (Texas Natural Grass) in the latter half of the 1970s and in the вЂ90s and beyond with String Fever. ItвЂ™s a fabulous instrument which still looks, plays and sounds terrific. The following year(November of 1977) I received my first Stelling, SN 618 вЂ“ a beautiful Staghorn. After playing it, I agreed, but couldnвЂ™t quite afford it. BarryвЂ™s wife Pam had bought it for him for his birthday. Golden days.Дuring my first official banjo lesson with Barry Hurt in 1976 at BarryвЂ™s PickinвЂ™ Parlor in Odessa, I saw my first Stelling.

Those were the days when only two instruction books were available: вЂњHow to play the 5-string banjo вЂ“ a manual for beginners,вЂќ by Pete Seeger, Third Edition Revised, 1962 and, of course, the 1968 book that rocked the banjo world, вЂњEarl Scruggs And The 5-String Banjo.вЂќ Many of us remember learning off of LPs and slowing the record player down to 16 RPM so we could tell what was really going on. In the meantime, I strung my electric guitar with a set of banjo strings and started teaching myself to play. I did odd jobs and paid $10 per week on my new prize until it was truly all mine. IвЂ™m from Midland, Texas and have been playing the banjo since 1968, when I bought my first banjo, a Gibson RB-100, which I bought on layaway for $100.00 total. The instruments on this website are high end banjos of the best quality, having been manufactured by some of the best five-string builders in the world such as Stelling, OME, Bishline and Nechville.

I hope you find a banjo here that will give you many years of playing satisfaction at home alone, at jam sessions and on stage. Hello, fellow banjo lovers and welcome to the Banjos Elite website, where fine, high end banjos are for sale.
