There are a number of people that would do justice to a new neck for your
banjo. On the East coast, I would first reccomend Mike Allison at Providence
Guitar and Banjo in Providence, R.I. In the Midwest, my recommendation would
be Richealu (sp?) Banjos somewhere in Wisconsin. (Specializes in 4 string
banjos only). Salt Lake City has Leonard Coulsen (sp?) at Interlake Banjo.
I'm sure there are at least a dozen other recommended luthiers. Note that
Mike Allison has done 3 instruments for me, an ODE 5-String (Aluminum rim),
an Orpheum 5-String (from a tenor) and an 'Gibson' RB-3 copy from a pre-war
tone ring.
