<p>Congrats Valerie,</p>
<p>I also put one of Terry's Boucher kits together recently. I built my first banjo kit in 1974. This kit is so much better than any kit I have seen. Terry's wood selection for the neck is great. If you follow his finishing directions It's almost fool proof with great results. I had experience with almost all types of wood finishes, but never had tried the shellac and French polish method.

I received my kit Friday afternoon and by Sunday afternoon had the strings stretching and playing.

<p>Valerie... 2.5 hours... not bad! Terry is a true class act and YES, just as passionate in person as he is over the phone. Both times I have stopped into the factory... 2.5 hrs and more pass by in a blink of the eye. </p>
<p>Pour your heart in to that kit... You will be so pleased with what comes out the other side of building it...</p>

<p>I've tried out fretless banjos, but very briefly. I excited, and nervous! </p>
<p></p>
<p>Since my other banjo is turquoise I can't promise this new one will have a traditional finish. I'm going to have to get a feel for her personality as I'm sanding. </p>

<p>Well done Valerie! Have you played with no frets on a banjo yet? What color are you going to paint it? Please send pictures.</p>

<p>I recently built a Bell Boucher. Building was more fun than I expected and I love playing it! Terry was very helpful, with great information from the instant I placed the order.</p>
<p></p>
<p>ENJOY!</p>
<p></p>
<p>I know you will.</p>
