Here’s a nice classic five string bluegrass banjo being offered by one of our members. It is thought to have been constructed in the early 1980’s when it could be said that Ibanez were producing some of their best instruments
The banjo is in great condition, comes with a hard case and has that desirable bluegrass sound. It would suit those wanting to get into the music in a serious way but at around the same price you might pay for a new, lesser quality “starter” banjo such as the “Goodtime”, minus the case.
These rarely come up, especially at $795. Contact initially to Bob 93352598.

The Bluegrass Club of WA has just compiled a CD consisting of forty-four great bluegrass classics, in mp3 format. The project came about in response to members wanting to know more about songs and tunes they had heard being played at the club.
The compilation was arrived at by noting down popular songs being played over a few meetings and so is quite arbitrary. We hope it meets with approval.
There is also an accompanying list showing the songs’ names with the keys that they would normally be played in at the club.
The CD will be available free of charge, to all members, at the May the 11th meeting.
