❌SOLD❌ Dave Mills Frailing Banjo 5-String Openback, 2018

This Dave Mills Frailing banjo, built during 2018,  is an open-back style mostly using Rickard components, not surprising as Mills and Rickard are associates. These instruments are pretty straightforward, and this Mills Frailing model uses a cherry-stained Maple neck with Ebony fingerboard.

SOLD!!! Dave Mills 5 String Openback Banjo with Frailing Scoop, 2018

On January 7, 2021   /    
SOLD!!! Dave Mills 5 String Openback Banjo with Frailing Scoop, 2018

This neatly constructed Dave Mills 5 string openback banjo uses a 12 inch pot with a spun-over Maple rim and Dobson-style tone ring, and a 3-piece Maple neck with an Ebony fingerboard that carries a frailing scoop. The Maple used on the rim and neck has a very convincing Cherry stain – so convincing that even our repair shop staff thought it was cherry from a short distance!     The head uses a traditional ‘paddle’ outline.

❌SOLD❌ Rickard Brass Spunover Dobson 12 Inch Banjo, 2019

We’ve received a new Brass Spunover Dobson 12-inch, open back banjo from Rickard Banjos in Aurora, just north of Toronto, and it’s a real peach,  as Rickard products tend to be.  Bill Rickard has been developing his line of banjos and banjo components for several years and his output is impressive. This Brass Spunover Dobson Ring open back 5-string banjo is a great example of the quality of his work.
