Joseph Ricketts Banjo

[david cavage]

I just wanted to Thank John C for directing me toward this banjo, as I'm really new to this style. I made an offer and it should be arriving today. Also, you mentioned Joel for what type of bridge should go on this one. I'd like to get it set up to proper specs. I'll try to get some pictures and string height etc. Enjoyed all the Great playing this past weekend, and Thanks to Joel for letting me try out his Weaver....Great Banjo. I'm hoping this one will have great tone as well.

Sorry, I currently do not have any bridges.

Does anyone on this site know anything about working on/ repairing these vintage Rickett banjos?

Hi David, it was nice meeting you at the rally. I can help you with setup and repairs. Shoot me a private message, and I'll share my email address with you. We can take it from there.

Thanks so much John, I sent you a friends request. This one may need a reset, but I'm not sure yet, and the fifth string peg is frozen really tight. Great playing this past weekend. I'm hoping to learn to start reading this winter.
