I purchased Banjo end of summer from Penny Lane Emporium. Interesting story Steve Martin used this banjo to check it out before deciding to purchase one for himself. There is a Youtube video of Tom Nechville changing Steve's custom head and installing the one that's on it now.
I changed the tone ring to the wood ring. Sounds wonderful and is much lighter. You can see and hear the banjo on my home page.
The only reason even considering selling is that I am taking a different direction musically and know that I can not give this beautiful banjo the time and attention it deserves. If it sells I may kick myself down the road, but it feels like the right thing to do for now.
