I'm in the market for a banjo with at least 24 or 25 frets. I've noticed fretboards extensions are usually only on professional instruments, with a few exceptions, which makes a lot of sense somewhat. I find if I had an…

Hi everyone. I am sorry if this isnt the right place to say sad news, but I dont know how else to let everybody who knew Brian, that he sadly died on Wednesday.
A big man with a big heart, so kind, generous and thoughtful I know he will be missed by everyone who was lucky enough to have known him.
Best wishes to you all at this very difficult time
Sincerely Jill…
