Frank Lee: News

I have gotten myself a might fine, custom made bridge from Blue Star Bridges. I am trying it out on different banjos here and so far I love it!! It's made of cherry and it's 1" tall with .5" spacing between the strings. I'll write more soon about these bridges.

I put together another video with the help of Great Smoky Mountains tv.

Check it out. I'm playing 4 of the banjos I perform with. Two are gourds, one is a grain measure banjo and I also do a piece on the banjo I play that was made by Polo Burguiere in France.

The wonderful people at Homespun have released my instruction video on dvd.

There's a link from my "links" page to get you to it. If you haven't seen it yet. Go to the link and watch a segment.

I have resently received a new gourd from maker and player David Hyatt. It's SO sweet. I have been blessed with a selection of fine gourd banjos from 3 makers. Check out the pictures!
