BANJO BROTHERS CUSTOM BANJOS & RIMS

Hey Folks,

I think it's about time to try to document Australian made banjos. There are not too many, but I have come across some more than I thought there were.  I think this is an opportunity for a musical PHD or for someone.to make a real contribution to Australian history

HI,

Lets start with

Banjo Brothers

Grundy

White swallow

Eucalypt

any others?

Also add,

Ray Black (Doole bsnjos)

Steve Blundell

Roger Buckmaster

Bellbird Banjos

Terry Cook

well you guys have covered most of them,there is also Finn Mathews.

But wait there's more.

Also add

Stuart Newman

Trevor Phillips

You guys don't have Aaron Rubley from Melbourne down? He had made over a hundred  last time I saw, he also sells rims made from Aussie timbers to the USA. I noticed his website is down but I think that is due to him recently moving the workshop. Also casts some of his own hardware too. I visited the States last year, his instruments were causing quite a stir at one of the festivals.

Hey Dan,were does Aaron work from & could you post a link to his web site,as we would like to contact him and see his work..Oh and so far that makes 13 australian builders,thats a bakers dozen...there must be more!

Wayne Beckett has also made a number of banjos and guitars. You may have seen a very large one on ebay for $6000. That was a custom request. Custom builds are so exciting to create. I love to make what the customer wants and to do the best I can do for them.
