Has to be asked. Banjo kits a possibility?

[Fretworn]

There was a guy in Canberra who specialised in Reso parts and kits, can't remember the name of the business but I'm sure Mr Google could find him.

From memory he was called Barron something or other and changed the business name, probably so he wouldn't be associated with the mob in Canada who appear to have a rather bad name

I'm just going to chime in and say I play banjo, i make it squeal.

"Squeal like pig, boy..."

A company called Saga did a line of mandolin and banjo kits, and they were pretty hit-and-miss quality wise. Plus the banjo kits were expensive due to the weight of the metal tone ring.

Barron is a good bloke. Last I heard he was looking at retiring, he was selling off a few tools and bits and bobs.
