A Site Dedicated to all enthusiasts of Classic Style Banjo
Obliged to anyone who can point me towards a copy Lansing's Practical Banjo Instructor Thorough and Complete.

Sorry Mike, I don't have this one. It appears the National Library of Congress have it, but it is yet to be digitised here: LOC
I hope that someone can help.
I have a lot of vintage tutors...but I don't recall having Lansing's. I bought a collection of sheet music from one of Lansing's students some years ago...can't recall if it is in her stuff. I'll do some digging.
Was looking for info on Dobson banjos this evening and found a copy of Lansing's Practical:

In fact, there's a whole mess of items on this site, here:
http://elib.hamilton.edu/hc/hc-main.php?id=col_spe-ban&c=spe_ban
I don't see a way to save any of these files - but at least they are available.
I had never seen this collection before myself ... It looks like it might've just gone up sometime since last summer?

Research for this exhibit was conducted during Summer 2011 by Catherine Crone '13 (advised by Professor Lydia Hamessley) as part of her project "A Study of Banjo Instruction Manuals from the Nineteenth Century." This work was funded by an Emerson Summer Collaborative Research Award.
Anyone know anything about this collection?
The files on the site can be printed or saved as PDFs - woohoo!
Once you pull up a document, there's an area called OPTIONS - one of the options in the drop down menu is COMPLETE PRINT VERSION. Select that and click GO and it pulls up a nice PDF.
A most appreciated use the of airways, friend.... thank you!
