Jake Glanville's Discussions

Mystery Banjo-Ukulele Maker

I wonder if I might draw on your collective knowledge, which I know is pretty extensive, and ask  Does anyone know who G W Temlett is?  This is the name stamped on the neck of my Banjo-Ukulele.  Now…Continue

"I would love to know in what way 'ignorant'.  The bridge height on a zither-banjo, for example, is very dependent on the way the pot has been constructed and its relationship with the sound chamber, and a number of other factors,…"

"Hi Carrie, For some strange reason that Temlett you had for sale in March popped up again. I assume you did actually sell it? If not, please contact me. Best Wishes, Jake."

Hi Jake. Thanks for the nice comments. I’m afraid I don’t know Mark Temlett, unfortunately.

Hi Jake, thank you for the interest!

My profile pic is not the banjo in question (that's my lovely Canadian 12" openback). I only posted a picture of the neck of this zither one. It's currently having its back reattached, but it certainly has the structure you refer to. Until it's repaired, I won't know what it sounds like but I'm intrigued.

I suspect it may have been strung as a 4-string, and the pip and 5th fret left unemployed. It shows lots of signs of having been played, which is promising. In order to use the 5th string I will need to add a side-pip (my term: surely there's a proper term for the guide that brings the 5th around the side of the neck?) or add a 5th-fret peg, as you suggest.

yours in banjo, Malachy

I mean "pip and 5th peg left unemployed"..

I was not kidding. I didn't know what AD meant.  

Jake please do not use the comment function in replying to something written in a conversation. Please add your comment to the thread. It's too confusing and people have to click in too many places to follow what is being said.

Hi Jake, I am interested in your connection to Alfred Peck Stevens.  He is my 2x Great Grandfather and researching his music hall career and family is my obsession.  Is the book you received for Christmas written by Ron Woollacott and Michèle Louise Burford?  Kind regards Wendy

Hi I am keen to know more about your family legend.  It would be great to see if Glanville is a surname of one of his parents.  Even with years of research and my Father's ancestry DNA test I have been unable to find Vance's parents.  My father is now 91 and a relatively keen listener of my findings.  Naturally musical he has enjoyed hearing about his music hall ancestors.  Best wishes Wendy

Dear Jake

Thank you for the great information.  It's definitely worth some research.  Is your Aunt Marie a Glanville?

I will also have a look for any information with regard to any banjo playing by Alfred.  There are some good articles in the American newspapers in interviews with his common-law-wife Eunice Mclewee aka Eunice Vance, whom I descend from. 

Regards Wendy
