Pär Engstrand replied to Brice Alms's discussion Barnes and Mullins Zither banjo tailpiece"Hi,
there's a seller on eBay that constantly sells parts for old banjos, banjo0121 is his user name. Here's a link to what he's selling now (I'm on the german eBay, so maybe the link won't work, then just search for the…"
Pär Engstrand replied to Pär Engstrand's discussion W.E Temlett Zither-Banjo"So, it's now in playable condition. It's pretty to look at (I just love that headstock!) but probably not very good. I don't have much Zb experience and I don't have my Windsor Zb at home at the moment to compare. I'll post…"

Pär Engstrand replied to Pär Engstrand's discussion W.E Temlett Zither-Banjo"Thanks for your replays, guys!

The zither banjo is different to the open backed banjo…"

Hi all,I got myself a "new" zither-banjo from eBay, pretty cheap, and it arrived today. It all looks good, except for a few things.First up, two of the tuners are missing the knob. So I'm looking for a replacment (I don't think I will be able to repair it...). Does anyone happen to have a spare set for a W.E Temlett zither (see pics)? When removing the tuners it looks to me as though the tuners on it was not the original. Looks as though it at some point had six single tuners. Could that be? I…See More

I want one of those!
I always (jokingly) tell my students, when the excuse for not practising is that they have to much school work, that school is not imporant, playing music is. I hope none of them will take it seriously. Unless they plan on…"
