<p>Dan, my kits [ <a href="http://bell.20m.com/banjokits.html" target="_blank">http://bell.20m.com/banjokits.html</a> ] come in any scale length you want. You can choose rim diameter too. Rim depth is always 3 1/4" unless you want different. I'm finding in the short time that I've been selling them that people DO want different specs so I slowed down making the 12.5 rim with 27.5 scale and let folks choose their own. I encourage people not to go shorter than 27 if they're using Nylguts…</p>

<p>Hi Terry,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I hate to be a nag, again, but what are the rim dimensions and scale lengths available for your kits?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks. :-)</p>

<p>Ya, I'm selling kits already. There's one problem with them, people can't believe there's no cutting, drilling or carving involved. Sand and stain. That's it.</p>

<p>The kit looks great! I think I told you I have been building four more minstrel banjos after completing your neck kit. Your new kit would have solved a lot of experimentation on my part. Kind of like re-inventing the wheel... But I think I am on the right track with my builds and should have one or two completed in a few weeks. making the hooks and shoes has been labor intensive but I think I have it more or less worked out.

<p>Yes, Tom...in fact the beehive is installed on the peghead when you get it. I just KNEW somebody'd spot that in the picture!! I was all excited to get a picture of the first kit that went out and was thinking about the camera and not the beehive. Speaking of beehives, I lathed out about 20 of 'em today. Whew.</p>
