Testimonial
"I took a little drive out to Elderly Music Store which
is about 4 hours from my home here in Illinois. I went there to buy a
(different maker's) banjo. While I was waiting for them to set it up
for me to play, I started foolin' around with the other banjos on the floor.
After about 15 minutes or so, they brought the (different maker's) banjo to
me to play. After a few minutes of playing it I became very
disappointed and realized I had driven 4 hours to buy a banjo that I didn't
like the sound of. I set the banjo down and began playing some more
banjos on the floor. I saw this awesome lookin' banjo hangin' there
and picked it up. I played a few notes and I fell in love. This
banjo rang out with such a beautiful tone and I could not believe my ears.
I figured it was way out of my price range and looked at the price tag and
was surprised to see it was not out of my price range. A bit
more than I really wanted to spend but for the sound of this banjo it was a
steal. It was a Chuck Lee, Lone Star Deluxe and I brought it home with
me. I never thought I would have a banjo that sounds like this and I
want to compliment you on your craftsmanship and obvious dedication to
creating a work of art such as this. I can't stop playing it and the
more I play, the better it sounds. I can't say enough about this
banjo...THANKS!!!!
