Love these guys and gals. Always something interesting to see, play or purchase. Right up there with The Smithsonian for historical merit too.

It's no use making any deals with these people. They are only about money.

Just arrived, a 1924 Paramount Tenor Harp Style E Model Wood Top Banjo in its original black hard shell case! This is simply one of the most unique instruments we have ever seen, and a true New York jazz-era oddity.
