After a wander in the banjo wilderness, it is good to see that you found your way home. Welcome back Rob, from all of us, I am sure!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Looking forward to seeing what you are all up to.
Aye, welcome back Rob. Glad to see you here!!
Hi Rob , thank you for the Buckley, the Baur looks good too. But must get some more ink before I start downloading that and your Mel Bay Book.
I'm glad to see you are still going strong. Do you know Mark Temlett? He is the great great grandson of William Temlett Snr and I would love to get in contact with him about a ukulele-banjo probably made by his famous ancestor. I believe he is still alive and very interested in banjos. In response to your comment about people de-tuning their banjos, I do it on some of mine because I am worried about putting too much stress on an instrument over 120 years old.
I'm glad you're impressed with Carrie Horgan. So am I! I've also been a big fan of yours for a very long time and always insist that anyone interested in classic banjo should first listen to you before doing anything else (if they haven't done so already.

Many thanks for your reply, Rob. One of these days I'll find out who 'G W Temlett' was!
All the Best,
Jake.
