Engraver wanted for banjo parts

Sam · Nov 20, 2006

This request came in my email today:
--------------------------
We are looking for someone to engrave banjo parts. We build a lot of custom banjos for folks who want engraved parts and we have had only one source for these and so far and are not completely satisfied with the engraving they do. We are looking for someone else to do this. We can supply the parts for you to engrave. The parts would consist of a tension hoop, tone ring, flange and arm rest. We currently have two banjos in the making using engraved gold parts.

See our website at bishlinebanjos.com

Thanks,

Looks like Bishline Banjos will be getting the Alfano touch.

No, I'm a banjo player, but am not set up for banjo engraving. The parts are quite large and awkward to hold without a special setup. / ~Sam

Engraving banjo parts would be neat job. To bad I don't have the exprience to do that. My old banjo teacher (Vergil Hummer) would be smile'n down from heaven.

Generally what us Dobro players do to embellish banjo parts is pile the parts up neatly. Go and get a 10 inch cold chisel, a 6 pound ballpeen hammer and .....

I would think Tira would look into this since she's the "big parts" setup queen and the purtiest headlight bezel engraver on the forum.

A jig would be needed for sure for the big round thing, you know Sam; the part where you stretch the hide over to try and keep the sound in & not let it out.

Another cruel insult to us poor banjo players.
A Dobro is just a banjo wannabe!

Aren't dobro players actually Doh!-bro's

I reckon I had that one coming to me. Nice pun Cody, hadn't heard that one yet.
