On Friday evening January 13, I caught Brian Lappin playing The Ken Harvey model prewar Gibson flathead head top tenison banjo. Unique custom built Gibson banjo from the late 1930's. Great banjo, great picker, unique sound and tone. More information about the banjo is on Greg Earnest's Prewar Gibson banjo website.

  • The banjo is strong on mid range and treble, clean clear a little bit ringy without it being abrasive. Unlike any other banjo that I can recall David

  • Thanks for the comment, he one of the best pickers and a great friend.
