"Ah! Eph, what'll they think when they hear the old cremona speak like that!"
Tom Briggs (1824-1854)
I use original and reproduction banjos. My main minstrel-style axes are a James Hartel Ashborn reproduction and a Jeff Menzies tackhead. Both of those luthiers are well known for their "taste exact for faultless fact" when making banjos.
My classic-style banjoes are an 1892 Elias Howe "Superbo" and an S.S. Stewart "Imperial" Banjeaurine from 1894. All of my banjos have natural calf-skin heads and are strung with gut.
The goal of those of us in this little genre is to provide a "time-travel" experience through music. If you dig history you will hopefully enjoy my video's.
The wallpaper here is an 1885 painting of Helen Carte, by Walter Richard Sickert, entitled "The Working Manager." Helen Carte was a huge part of the success that was Gilbert and Sullivan.
