- Following is an abbreviated list of my favorites, banjo related web sites. I understand that I might have missed other, outstanding sites and will be happy to receive pointers to them for possible inclusion here.
- Buddy Wachter runs two web sites. One is a more personal site is, frequently under reconstruction and you may want to check its re-issue. To see and enjoy a collection of outstanding instruments - many for sale - visit his Banjo Emporium.
- Banjo-Hangout is great for everything 5-string banjo, and by now others as well!
- All Frets (formerly F.I.G.A.) is the world’s largest representative of four string banjo and banjo band matters. They need our support, which is best documented by becoming a member (tell them I sent you in your application).
- The American Banjo Museum with their annual induction of banjo representatives into the Hall of Fame is a MUST to visit. If you can’t travel now, why not look at their web site?
- Erster Muenchner Banjoclub (First Munich Banjo Club) is a group of Munich based banjo players. They started out with a regular get together in January 2007, subsequently founded the club, and by now perform frequently and successfully in the Munich area.
- Sean Moyses maintains a newsletter on his web site. After his move back to the UK he has created a full solo career for himself and is still a much requested musician in many bands.
- Those looking to buy a banjo and having been to the commercial sites might want to check this informative web site from Kevin Scott in the UK.
- A true gentleman from Texas, known for his skills and generosity is “Mr. Vintage Banjo”, Vincent Mondello. If you are looking for a repair, a restoration, parts, a used banjo, or just plain good advice - he has it!
- Another world class professional player, grown under the tuition of Buddy Wachter, is Tyler Jackson.
- Norbert Pietsch has gained world wide reputation as a master luthier and banjo builder.
- The web site of Guenter Amendt is a must if you can’t get the Tsumura books and like to look at top-of-the-line banjos.
