Wow, those are beautiful banjos!! I've never played a tenor, but I never met a banjo I didn't like.
Did you build the resonators?

Hi Ron
I have been using Cox resonators . Now I have a new lathe I going to make them ,the quality of the Cox is not what it should be now days ,besides I prefer the tone of solid wood resonators .

Re: Couple of tenors
That walnut looks dead sexy Phil, unfortunately the Maple is a little washed out in that dazzling Aussie sun but both look like quality bits of work. Do you make 5 stringers as well?

Dead sexy is right Phil. Do you have any more shots of those beauties?
Ron, you're beginning to worry me.

Re: Couple of tenors
Those are beautiful Phil. I didn't know that a banjo came in an extra small, and I come from the land of Banjos. (Family is from the hills of North Carolina and Virgina.)
Any chance of getting a sound clip?
