Hi folks, this is Jim Mills, Jim Mills Banjo.
I just want to share with you the latest find I found here.
I'm always searching for banjos all over the world and this is one of the rarest finds
in pre-war Gibson banjo history.
It's factory order number 9467 -2PB3.
I just had a Frank Needs Neck put on here about a week ago.
This is a serial number, or factory order number, mate to J.D. Crowe's banjo known as the Banger.
Probably the most [Ab] known banjo J.D. has played all these years.
He played it on most all the Jimmy Martin and Sonny Mountain Boys recordings, most [N] all
the Kentucky Mountain Boys recordings, and several of the New South recordings.
The major rare feature of that particular banjo, the Banger, is a no-hold flathead tone
ring and chalk rim.
They only made that configuration at Gibson from 1929 to 1930, along in there, was in
the first production run of the One Piece Flange Banjos.
They discontinued it after that, but they have become known as the Holy Grail J.D. Crowe
kind of sounding banjos and they're super rare.
Probably maybe more than a dozen mates on there in this particular batch, only about
four or five have shown up.
This banjo's closest example in number to Crowe's.
[Ab] Again, J.D. Crowe's Banger is 9467-5.
This banjo is [Bb] 9467-2.
So, it's the earliest known and the closest known to Crowe's banjo.
I called Crowe on the phone when I got it and he told me, he said, you'll find that
they have so much power you can't kill them.
I have found that to be true.
I'll have to say right now, it's the most powerful banjo I've ever [F] played.
It'll take anything you give it and laugh at you and say, is that all you got?
[Ab] I've never had [A] anything like it.
I can't attribute it to anything except the body [Gb] construction of this banjo.
[Abm] It's absolutely got something different than any other banjo I've [F] ever owned or played.
I'm [C] very happy with it and enjoying playing it right now.
I just want to share it with you all.
I hope you enjoy this.
Here it is.
J.D.'s. banjo, again, is known as the Banger. I think [A] this is his cousin, so I'm going [G] to name it the Clanger. I hope you enjoy. [D] [G]
