5-STRING BANJOS

BUYING
I am extremely interested in any Very early
Fairbanks
5-string banjo.
My focus is instruments made between 1875 and 1881 (S/N
0000 -1000)
with particular interest in banjos stamped "A.C.Fairbanks
-
Maker",
and Fairbanks & Cole banjos with distinct
preF&C heel cuts.
More information about Fairbanks banjos can be found here.
----
I am also VERY interested in any banjos made before
1870,
notably those recognized as true Civil War and
Minstrel Era instruments.
Of particular interest are banjos made by:
Thomas Bree
Charles Morrell
Wm. Boucher
James Ashborn
Lombard
Teed
Jacobs
and any early banjo with interesting shape and/or
features
that
reveal the hand and heart of the maker.
----
Condition is not a great consideration and
price is (almost) no object for significant instruments.
If you have any such banjo for sale or know of any,
please
contact me by
e-mail or by
telephone at 816-416-6062.
