Dave.. which model is this??
You've all my admiration, too

Are you Asking what banjo? Yates RS Archtop prototype I just bought from Ron Stuart. It is the first of its kind and Ron Stuart played it for about 6 months before I bought it.

You can see Ron playing it on YouTube: The Boxcars - "December 13th" or "Jumpin the Tracks" - both videos are from "Music City Roots".

Cool buy huh?

This is the only track I've played this banjo on. Everything else was my Hatfield 'Buck Creek' made by Arthur Hatfield.

I seen quick the videos, Dave..!!
I think to lose the sleep, now..
Thanks!

Well, I lost plenty of sleep when it was being shipped up here so we will now be even.
