Elderly is a dealer for Nashville Banjos, along with TME. I hope things work out with Ozark.

Well, here I am, Ozark Banjo Delivery Week +2 Weeks, And No Ozark Banjo, Or Communication From The Company ...
Yeah, I know, I should stop whining and somehow get to the bottom of this. I wonder if Ozark Banjo Company has a phone number? I suppose I could try one of the search services. My Pisgah Custom 12" Walnut Tubaphone took only 5 weeks to get and I got to talk to Patrick Heavner a couple of times on the phone during my build.

Today, 4 1/3 years after ordering it, I finally received my Ozark Custom 12-inch Figured Cherry. I'm quite happy with it out of the box but I need to buy a lower bridge and a Superior Hardshell Bump Case (I guess Ozark doesn't sell cases with their banjos?). Thanks for looking in. More to come with photos and a review in a new thread.

FYI: From my previous post I mentioned, I guess Ozark doesn't sell cases with their banjos?
When I initiated my Ozark Custom banjo in May 2018, the base price for their banjo build was $1700 with no mention of an included hardshell banjo case or gig bag. Now, a recent check of the Ozark website, reveals the base price is now $2200 including a hardshell case but doesn't mention what brand. I just purchased a Superior Deluxe "Bump-Style" 12" Openback Banjo Case from Elderly Instruments for $187. Thus the current base price for the actual Ozark banjo is now about $2000 or a $300 increase in 4 years. Ozark Banjo Company Custom Option Webpage. More to come soon in a new thread featuring my new Ozark Custom 12-inch Figured Cherry.

Sorry for the delay in posting photos but I'm waiting for a nice, sunny day to take the Ozark outside.

Interesting thread and great collections, be they small or large. Getting back into banjo after a couple of long layoffs, and have picked up dobro. The current rack:

Thanks, NoStatic! I've been interested in Nechville banjos since getting back into banjoing 5 1/2 years ago. Interesting designs and I'll bet your Nechville plays and sounds like a dream! You have an interesting website and many varied interests!

I like the Nechville. Some years back I briefly had a Phantom and I have to say moving the 5th string tuner to the peghead (as opposed to at the 5th fret of the neck) is something I didn't like back then but think I would now. Depends on your technique - mine is so rusty now I'm almost starting over. Which is a mix of fun and frustrating. The Saturn is more towards the traditional/minimal side of things (and also not as expensive). I dig the look.
