Comment by Bruce Barton on April 19, 2013 at 2:48pm: Congrats Alexander on your "new" Epi Rec A!! I've had mine for a couple of years now and love it -- great instruments!

Comment by Gerard Lord on April 19, 2013 at 1:45pm: I need to update this.Sold my paramount leader and bought a Dave Boyle. Does that mean Paramount -1,Dave Boyle +1

Surprised so many people have paramounts.Had a really bad time with one

Comment by Alexander Roeder on April 19, 2013 at 1:23pm: Hi folks,

I just added an Epiphone Recording A to my collection (beside the Nechville). Got i refurbished by Andreas Köpke in Kiel / Germany, a great instrument maker. Looks and sounds spectacular.

Comment by Dick Glasgow on March 3, 2013 at 10:40am: Just added Mark Carlson's unusual Leedy mongrel to the list.

Described by Michael Keyes as follows:

"my Leedy Frankenbanjo which is made from a Leedy pot, a Rettenburg neck put on it in the '30s, an early Weatherking head, a Gibson style arm rest, and an custom made brass tailpiece. It is not original, but it is a great banjo. I have a teak and ebony bridge of my design on it and it has generic gold tuners. the resonator is original Leedy but not to this banjo. It comes off and you can play it open back for a different sound."

Cheers,

Dick

Comment by Tim Klug on February 22, 2013 at 5:39am: I play an 18-fret Weymann model 150.

Comment by Alan Jones on February 17, 2013 at 9:59pm: I recently bought my first banjo, a19fret "Copeland". It wasn't expensive but I love it.

Comment by Banjax. on August 7, 2012 at 12:19am: Epiphone mainly now, best for sessions.

Comment by Mike Gilfeather on August 6, 2012 at 9:57pm: I recently picked up a Paramount Leader after seeing it listed on the BHO site to add to my Paramount C. Still have a B&D Serenader Silver Bell, but prefer the tone out of the Paramounts for playing Irish music. I think that will do it for a good while as I don't need a worse case of BAS!!=Mike
