<p>Congratulations on your find. Looks really nice and look forward to hearing a sound sample. I was tempted by this one - am sure you won't have any trouble selling it on should you choose to :)</p>
<p>I need to stop looking on Ebay - today there is a countdown on a Grimshaw and a Wilmshurst - it's like torture!!!</p>

<p>Here's the banjo after a bit of a clean and set-up. Has a really impressive sound and very loud. Very different from my Clifford Essex Professional which is the only other 12 inch(ish) spun over I have to compare it to. The neck profile is also really comfortable. </p>

<p>Hello Andrew, Congrats on your purchase of that lovely Alvey Banjo.</p>
<p>Alvey was a trade name of John Alvey Turner. The banjo would have been made for them by Sydney Young, who was Cammeyers maker. there are several distinctive features which are also common to Cammeyer branded Banjos.</p>
<p>I will send you a copy of the JAT catalogue tomorrow, Keith</p>

<p><br></br> Joe Morley is pictured holding one of these 'Alvey' banjos on the cover of his banjo tutor which was published by Turner. as to the date of manufacture, I would say that the 'Art Deco' style of the tuners indicates the 1930s as does the resonator, The Abbott 'Mirabile' model was/is a very good banjo very much like this banjo. <br></br> <cite>Andrew 'blind boy' Butler said:…</cite></p>
