i think you did an AWSOME jobTh ebanjo I made doesnt look half as good as yours.I would just love to hear it!Are you gonna post a video of you playing it?What did you use for the head?Why can you see through it?

Troy, that banjo is a beauty!! Where did you get those shield brackets?

Jeff: Thanks! There's a dulcimer shop out of Grafton, Ohio. A great guy to do business with, and he has them as well as the eagles. I'm currently finishing one with the eagle shield, and I'll get some pics up when I completed. Jeff Menzies may also have some hardware. I recently ordered a couple of skins from him. He seems a very cool person who has a great deal of experience as a builder. Take care!
