So let me get this straight... You went shopping for a banjo case, and then ended up restoring the banjo that came inside it? So now, instead of trying to sell a banjo without a case, you have one case and two banjos?

It's okay. The birdseye maple redeems everything.

Exactly! Though I could sell the tenor... or I could learn to play old Irish tunes that those tenors are used for. Have you pulled out your closet banjo?? Hope you are well!

Wow Willie!  that looks and sound beautiful.   You do such restorations with great love.  Your Franken banjo is amazing.  That back is perfect.   You did sell that 1976 one!  I had wondered if that was going to happen the way you started the video.  You had it sold by the end.    You are really at a low senior moment number by the way.  Talk to me about catching up to me once you start having to use exponents.

Thanks Chig! Yes I think I was on my way to sell it and decided to make the video before it was gone. Since this video I have made a few more changes... an old Elite tailpiece from 1900 and a different fancy carved tension hoop from the 1920’s. I’ll see if I can add a picture here.
