Hello Shawn,

Do you know what model or models of banjo Lloyd Longacre played?

Regards,

John

Hi John,

Lloyd was a wonderful player. No personal info here; have to rely on secondary sources :

   * 1953 Lewistown rally pic : plain, vega-ish banjo; could be a 1920's WL2.

   * 1970's 5 Stringer Rally pics ; mostly using what is identified in Issue 120 as his Rock        banjo.  Player/maker Bob Rock attended rallies into the 1980's. 

    * 1980 Fall Rally group photo (issue 139) : what appears to be a 1920's flowerpot WL7.

Hope this helps
