| Banjos – The Tsumura Collection (Akira Tsumura)This brilliant book by Akira Tsumura and showing some of his own amazing collection has been long out of print, but it’s highly sought after because it is unlikely ever to be published again.
168 pages of superb information and fabulous color photographs about all the major Banjo producers of the Jazz Age, plus Classic Banjos, Banjos of the Minstrel Age, Banjo Ukes & Ukuleles, Banjo Curios, Banjo Patents, and others. For anyone interested in Banjos this publication is a must. |
