Minstrel Banjo

For enthusiasts of early banjo

Here are photos of my latest original Ashborn Guitar with a tapered fingerboard and my second Ashborn Banjo made by Mike Wesley. They both have the concave style of Ashborn tuner.

The neck profile for the banjo was taken from a cast of the original and was provided by Jim Hartel.

. Have you seen any of the clips of the Ashborn banjo replica I have lent to me and made by David Oakes here in Connecticut ?? 

Beautiful playing on the Ashborn guitar. Yes, I have seen most of your videos including the David Oakes Ashborn's. He does very good work. Here are Mark and Mike playing a couple of my guitars.
