Gaetano Vinaccia Guitar, Naples 1829

On August 21, 2019 /

Here we’ re treated to a Gaetano Vinaccia guitar, dated to 1829 and listed as number 40, built in the Vinaccia shop in Naples. At the time, Italy was not a unified nation, with various states being under control of other neighboring empires. It was not until 1861 that Italy became a unified state under King Victor Emmanuel II. Vinaccia instruments are rare outside of museums. The 190 year old example here was restored in Holland some time ago, with a number of changes to help modernize the guitar and make it playable.

On August 8, 2019 /

Here we’re have a brand new Enoch Tradesman 12 5-string open back banjo, built of Cherry and with a Richlite fingerboard. Enoch Banjos are hand built in Kevin Enoch’s shop in Beltsville, Maryland, and are highly respected by the old-time banjo crowd. While the Enoch Tradesman is a simple, plain yet very high quality banjo, many Enoch banjos are custom built with incredible engraved inlay sets.
