"Thanks very much Brett, for the recordings! They're of very high quality, and I really appreciate them. I have one of Tarrant Bailey's banjos, or at least I think so as it has his name inside, and the date: 31/1/48. …"

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

"Hello Owen,
Thanks for the post. I love old zither-banjos. Just thought I'd point out that it's unlikely that yours dates from the 1940's. In 1940 (December,I think) the factory was Blitzed by the Luftwaffe, and…"
