​FOR SALE
Double bass - $ 3,200.00 / Negotiable 
​3/4 sized Hybrid bass built by Upton in Mystic, CT. Back and side are laminated Italian poplar, top is carved spruce, fingerboard and tailpiece is ebony it has a rounded back. The bass has had one owner and is in near mint condition with only a few very slight marking in the finish. The strings were upgrade some years ago with thomastik spircore strings. This bass has no damage on edges that would normally occur by laying the bass down on the ground. It sounds better now then when it was brand new, has required no repairs. The Pickup on it is a decent but really needs a preamp. We would rather not ship the bass but a not too long road trip would be fine here in the western states. Bow quiver is not included and currently it does not come with a bass bag/case.

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.
