I recently obtained this from Will Kimble who sold it for a very fair price with a refret and a nice Tweed shaped hard case.
I'd been scanning the Cafe Classifieds for a couple of years for one of these.
It's very easy and fun to play - not quite as much of a banjo killer as I'd like but it has great shimmery high end and nice chunky mid.
It really shines when plugged in to a PA through my LR Baggs PADI.
I realize it is unlikely to improve tonally over time - but it sounds pretty fine for what it is - it's well built and it certainly is both a conversation starter and is likely to invoke reactions in those who are tradition bound.
