<p>I haven't played in a band since 2013. Our rock band split then. Just play at home now. Still enjoy playing but I have been trying to focus a little more on the banjo and ukulele banjo rather than my guitars.</p>

<p>great pic Mark, I too have a selection of nice old ukes, I have never played a Keech instrument myself but, I own and play a Dallas B which in my opinion is the best in the Dallas range and, I am really lucky in owning a couple of Gibson UB2 ukes which are really very nice instruments, I gig all of my banjos and ukes in the south east , London, Kent and Essex mostly and it can be fun hearing people guessing which one is a mandolin and which is a lute !<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Mark Reynolds…</cite></p>

<p>Thank you Carrie. </p>
<p>Yes, some of these instruments are generally being thrown out, but I have been lucky to catch them!</p>
<p>It's just a labour of love but it is nice to see them looking good and playable.</p>

<p>Welcome Mark. It always makes me sad when I see beat-up zither banjos on Ebay - looks like you've done a good job in restoring them to playing condition. You may get some commissions from folks on here - do you live in the UK?</p>
