Times a-changing.
Pic above is me and my twinbrother at the Gothenburg Jazz Festival. I taught him three chords for the parade and lent him my Silverbell with the Senoritaneck. In exchange he dyed his hair red. 26 people mistook him for me!!! and wondered how he could be at one venue when he at the same time played at another venue.

Favourites
My other Schnuur Silverbell banjo see page 18 is perfect. Itīs is my current favourite with the Gibsom Bowtie Mastertone as back up. My restoration object the Silverbell now has a new fretboard and plays marvellous. I will also consider replating and repainting of the pot. The original Silverbell neck got a new from US. Grinding and correcting and yes!!! Find Bacon page!
I have sold my old Ome triple X pot with a tonering similar to the Silverbell. It had Kel kroydon neck. And a modified resonator a mix between Vega and B&D Special with round hole flange..See the pics!
Also about my danish banjo Peter B. It has been refitted with its original brass tone ring.
Check also the newly added link to the banjo directory below. It has some interesting banjo sites.
New pics
I have added another page (page 27) with pics from last summers gig and also pics of jazz-and banjofriends. Lilian Bouttč and Eddie Davis and many others.See the pics!
Cynthia Sayer
I have added a pic of Cynthia Sayer. See her homepage! That girl plays banjo just as well as she is sweet. And she is a smashing good player making me wonder why I started play banjo. But she and the bicycle (or some other bicyclist) are not friends. That ended With a broken collarbone!!!! 2005. But she managed to do the tour with some help from friends. Hurray that is courage Cynthia! But look out while biking!!!
Sean Moyses
Another great banjochap. He has a new updated homepage. Lots of tip for banjoplaysers and he also is the editor of "The banjo newsletter". Itīs free and a must for banjoplayers, See his homepage here!
I need space so I am thinking of selling some banjos. The modified Senorita see info on page 25 Is sold. My Weymann style 85.Neck is bowed but playable.Also some separation in the resonator. But still at beatiful sound. A bargain price. see page 4
