Ring the Banjar: The Banjo in America from Folklore to Factory Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Among the very few available resources on early banjos I rank this book very highly.
Essentially the catalog of the 1984 banjo exhibition at the MIT Museum, it presents Webb's informative and highly readable briefhistory of the banjo, and more.I love looking at the excellentphotographs of early players, ephemera and banjos from the exhibition, butmy favorite part of the book by far is Jim Bollman's information packedsection entitled "The Banjomakers of Boston".
This book hasproven a reliable and surprisingly complete compilation of hard to findinformation.I highly recommend it to banjo collectors, historians,players of vintage banjos and anybody interested in the story of"America's instrument" and how it came to be.
