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!

Steve Gill with Eric & Jeff Sullivan in the Sullivan Historic Banjo Room
Steve Gill came by the shop today. After a short tour and a little business, Steve played a few tunes on one of our new Vintage 35 banjos. Steve is a big part of our new banjo as he supplies the resonators for these models. Steve owns and operates Gill Mfg. which currently produces the most accurate reproduction Pre-War Gibson Mastertone banjo resonators on the market. Steve makes all of the resonators by hand and they are so accurate that they could be passed off as original. Finding such a high quality product that is produced by one of the nicest guys I know has really put the finishing touch on our new Vintage 35 banjos.

Aaron Thomas was in the showroom this week from Washington, IN and was kind enough to try out one of the new Sullivan Historic Vintage-35 Banjo Prototypes. We debuted this Banjo at IBMA and will have more information on it in the coming weeks – for now, the sound speaks for itself! He’s a great picker and in the video below performs a wonderful and unique version of “What a friend we have in Jesus”. Thanks for stopping by, Aaron!
