Our friend Tyler Mullins stopped by and picked up his new mahogany Sullivan Vintage 35 banjo today. Tyler got his start as the banjo player for the now famous Kentucky Sassafras. He’s now working as a member of the Lonesome Ramblers picking the five for Bluegrass legend Larry Sparks. We are proud to welcome Tyler into the Sullivan banjo family!
Everyone knows banjos just sound better when they have a tone ring installed. The only drawback is the weight, right at three pounds. First Quality is proud to introduce a direct replacement flathead tone ring made entirely from wood. These tone rings are made on the same machines as the regular rings and they are have all the same features. You can get a ring with a long or short skirt and with or without 20 holes. The one pictured was custom ordered out of factory floor maple and a Brazilian rosewood top. Call for more information. 800.635.2021
