Could we have a look inside the banjo please?

Bertolle was a good player he had a duet partnership with another banjoist called Vero Berrie, they mad a few recordings which might be on Youtube. I've had a few 'Dexter' banjos over the years, the ones which passed through my hands seem to have been made by Cammeyer's craftsman, Sydney Young.

I have not found any of him playing the banjo. He was quite a good mandolin player and it seems he fancied that.

Have you looked under 'Berrie and Bertolle'?

Comment by William Benton on November 4, 2023 at 10:50

Yes but have found none featuring him on the banjo.

I've just remembered that he also played with Gordon Tait and iI have a feeling that they recorded a couple of things together.

Wow thanks. I'll search around for that!
