    Tag No 39-1649 Used
    #2174, previously owned and used professionally by Tony, in excellent condition with original hard shell Stelling logo black case, which is missing two latches on the bottom side.

    Tony Trischka told us that this banjo is the only banjo he used on the A Robot Plane Flies Over Arkansas album, and the main banjo he used from that, his first album, to the Hill Country album.  He told us that “from 1981 to 1991 this was my primary instrument.”   This banjo is listed on the Stelling Banjo Works’ Chronology of Important Instruments and Significant Dates, which says: in January of 1982 Stelling finished banjo #2174 - a Sunflower -  for Tony Trishka.   The first banjo made in 1982 was #2172, so this would have been the third banjo Geoff made that year.

    Bart Reiter (new) Regent

    Tag No 39-1559 New
    #3527, with hard shell case.

    The Regent model also has the adored and revered Whyte Laydie tone ring, but it noticeably has only a star inlaid on its ebony headstock overlay and no ivoroid fingerboard binding. It is otherwise similar to the Whyte Laydie model (with a few other changes) but around $450 less expensive. Let us read together the Bart Reiter Banjos’ Statement of Origin: Bart Reiter Open Back Banjos are, they say, made entirely by one Mr. Bart Reiter in his East Lansing, Michigan shop.

    Vega (used, 1960) Model Little Wonder Tenor

    Tag No 39-1329 Used
    #A99917, very good condition, somewhat overly long on the headstock end hard shell case.

    The tenor banjo is the most popular member of the four-string banjo family. It is tuned C G D A just like a mandola, a viola or a tenor guitar. It provides the alto voice to the jazz band and excels at both rhythm and lead functions About the banjo our beloved friend, Wikipedia, says: “In almost all of its forms, banjo playing is characterized by a fast arpeggiated plucking, though there are many different playing styles.” Did you know that? I didn’t know that.

  11. Gibson (used, 1927) Bella Voce tenor banjo

    Gibson (used, 1927) Bella Voce tenor banjo

    Tag No 39-1071 Used
    #0206-10, in what will become “very good” condition after our workshop has worked on it, but right now in “poor to fair,” with newer (longer) plush lined hard shell case made for a plectrum or a 5-string.
    This banjo is a complete mystery – the mystery part being “How in the world could somebody have owned this instrument and treated it this poorly?” This was one of the 3 top of the line Gibson banjos – every other example of this level Gibson banjo we have ever seen was in “excellent plus” because the people that owned it knew they had something valuable and so they treated it with kid gloves. It is SO improbable that somebody would beat up this banjo, made at such a lofty level in the Gibson hierarchy, to the extent that they did.
    Our Discount Price is $9,275.00 and Our Cash Discount Price is $8,995.00.

    Vega (used, 1927) Little Wonder tenor banjo

    Tag No 39-1068 Used
    #75120, in very good plus condition with worn original hard shell case.
    The Little Wonder is one of Vega’s prewar open-back models. It has a “rolled bead” of brass that acts as a small yet effective variation on a tone ring providing the instrument’s sound more punch and drive. It has 28 brackets, shoes and nuts (the sign reads “no brackets and shoes, no service”) and, guess what, 28 screws and washers. It has the standard Vega internal tensioner device holding the maple wooden dowel firmly to the underside of the heel, and the nickel-plated brass cube at the bottom.
    Our Discount Price is $716.00 and Our Cash Discount Price is $695.00.

  19. Vega (used, 1931) Style R Whyte Laydie full-scale Tenor Banjo

    Vega (used, 1931) Style R Whyte Laydie full-scale Tenor Banjo

    Tag No 58-9152 Used
    #93023, with individual-piece 28-section flange and maple pie-plate resonator.
    This example has the fairly standard 11 15/16” diameter head, which has been replaced with a frosted-on-the-face Mylar mama. We don’t see very many resonator-backed Whyte Laydies and we don’t see many full scale ones either.  This is, then a fantastic opportunity for some lucky future owner since it’s both clean, capable and affordable. 
    Our Discount Price is $1,438.00 and Our Cash Discount Price is $1,395.00.
