He has 13 but not one for his grandson?????? What am I missing here. 🤔 Your son’s doing a heck of a job for just 6 months playing. My home was in Galax so no stranger to good fiddle’n banjo playing.
Good luck in your search.
Please don't think that my dad is selfish in any regard. The first two banjos my son got was from him. But he does tend to hold on to things more than I would so him parting with a Gibson or Huber would be a task and plus I'm his dad and I do what I can and would like to get him one. We'll be in Galax in August I'm sure he's excited about going. We live about an hour away. Thanks to everyone for the compliments I'm sure the 5 years of piano helped him out a little.
