FOR SALE
Banjo - $1,700

This is a gigging banjo for me for the last few years. Great volume and depth. It has a JLS Ring and a Kreshner tailpiece. I will include the original bridge and Presto tailpiece with sale. There is a lot of scuffs on the resonator. Comes with HSC.

Located in Middleton.

​FOR SALE

Full size callo - $1500
Standard size cello for sale. Rebuilt by Ken Pollard of Owyhee Fiddle Shop and evaluated by professional cellist Jason Young. Plays and sounds great. Excellent student instrument. No markings but a collective guess is that it is 1950s vintage. Gig bag but no bow. Asking $1500. All net proceeds to support the Weiser Banjo Contest.

FOR SALE
Breedlove KF Mandolin (American Made) - $975
This is a 2003 Breedlove mandolin crafted in Bend, Oregon. This should not be confused with the current cheaper import "Crossover" models offered by Breedlove.
SN 5782 signed personally by Kim Breedlove.
Unique K body with satin sunburst finish. I am the original owner and have played this mainly in my home studio. Excellent condition, with a tone similar to my Collings MF. Comes with original hardshell case.
Will consider offers.

FOR SALE
Gold Tone TB-250 Banjo - $650 
This is a 23.5" A-scale banjo - the only shorter resonator I am aware of that looks and sounds like a quality full-size bluegrass banjo.  It's 6 years old, excellent condition; it plays and sounds fine tuned to open G with medium gauge strings.  I've modified it with a Remo frosted head and Snuffy Smith bridge for tone (the original fiberskyn head and bridge are included); and added spikes at 7, 8, 9, and 10.  Great option for trashed shoulders (my initial reason), young players, or travel.  Market price new is $945; listing this at $650 OBO with hardcase. Link to Gold Tone video -  Gold Tone TB-250 Travel Banjo  
I will consider trade for open back clawhammer banjo of equal value.

By the amazing generosity of Kim Tweedy of Tweedy Music in Blackfoot, Idaho, the Weiser Banjo Contest has been bequested several carloads of banjo tone rings, resonators, wood rims, flanges, finished and blank necks, and other items. Kim Ray and Gary Eller are in the process of inventorying the first carload of items and will make available a full list after we receive the second carload. The collection includes both open back and resonator banjo components.   In addition to individual items which we will offer at 50% of fair retail price, we also can sell "kits" (necks, wooden rims, resonators) which a person with time, interest, and some woodworking and mechanical skills can use to put together their own custom banjo.

100% of the sale of these items will go to support the banjo contest by supplementing income from other donations, auctions, and pass-the-hat at the event. It takes about $2,000 to cover expenses for each contest, primarily for judges, prizes, sound, and venue rental.

FREE
Banjo Bridge  - Location: Boise Bench
The specs for the banjo bridge are:     3/4" Nechville Enterprise bridge with radiused top.
