Made it to Nashville today for the international bluegrass festival.
Had dinner at our favorite spot..”Dimos”… and caught Darrell Scott and Tim O’brien at the Station Inn.

This will be the last year for the IBMA to be in Nashville and we’ll be there!
We’ve been busy building several models and customs to have at the show.
If you are there, come see us Friday, October 28th and Saturday October 29th in the
Exhibition hall in the Nashville Convention Center!

Here’s a new tunneled fifth string, walnut banjo made for Ron.

It also has an abalone/mother of pearl mix in the inlay and gold tuners.

We are busy here working on Cimarron’s and several custom banjo’s and Madera’s.

I found this video of out takes from us trying to film the “how it’s made” video

Hi from Bishline Banjos!

Be looking for us Feb.17-19 at the Mid Winter Bluegrass Festival at the Northglenn Ramada Plaza in Denver.

We’re looking forward to seeing a lot of friends there and doing a lot of jamming.
Hopefully Flat picker Randy McSpadden will come by and pick a few tunes and our friend Dan Nieto will be doing some picking at the booth with me and Dave.

We’ll have several banjos with us including: CF–5, Patriot, Cimarron, Clermont
and some customs. I hope you’ll stop by the booth and say hi.

We’ve made some updates to our web site recently including a tag lick that I think you’ll find helpful in your playing. It’s under the “Tabs and Tips” tab in the video section of the web site. You can download the tab there as well.

In the custom section you’ll see a couple of banjos we recently completed.
The Midnight Moon was custom built for Jim Lesure in Edgewater, Maryland.
It features extensive marquetry inlay in the resonator, gold tuners, capo and hooks,
powder-coated hardware and a Koa armrest.

We also added a custom open back built for John Bullard in Kentucky.
It has some custom marquetry inlays of navy tattoos. Banjo is flame maple with a tobacco stain and a laminated neck. The dowel rod is a new design for us and very functional. John also posted some cool videos playing his banjo on you tube.

Back to work for me…We’re super busy building banjos and Maderas right now!

Thanks and Happy Pickin!
