Picked up the Butch Robins model by Tim Davis this morning. This thing will peel paint! I’ll post a video soon.

I admit, I’d never heard of a Davis banjo before. So I Googled it. Found this ad, they look pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zPuZ_24xqg

Oh my! That’s Zach “Pepper” Carter playing that Davis. He’s with the Backline band out of Spartanburg, SC. He was in Athens for a while so I got to pick with him a good bit. Great player out of the ETSU program.

I see from another ad they have/had a one year waiting list. Did you have to wait, or did yo find one that was calling your name & you got it now?
That is a fine bluegrass instrument!!

I placed the order with Tim in May, 2020 for BR #5. So yes, it took just over a year.

No wonder you are extra doubly thrilled to get it! The agony of anticipation has driven men mad before! Not to mention what it does to kids on Christmas Eve!

I find I appreciate things more when they take a good while to be made, rather than the ultra-convenient warehouse 2-day shipping craze- there’s just something about the hand-made values that are unmatched by automated systems.
