Thanks for the update! I've also been perusing the Wildwood Troubador at Elderly Instruments. My next banjo may be an Ozark Banjo Company custom with a brass tone hoop. There are several videos on YouTube of Lukas Pool, the company owner, demonstrating his various banjos. The Hoyt banjos are also under my consideration.
