Every year I accompany my wife to the Sheep and Wool festival held in Rhinebeck NY. It turns out that Rhinebeck is 30 minutes away from Bill Keith's home in Woodstock NY. I spoke to Bill the other day to order a set of his D tuners and mentioned that we were coming his way the following day. I asked if it would be ok to stop by and pick them up on our way home. He said sure!
It was an honor to meet and chat with such a legendary and influential master of the banjo.

I'm a part-time luthier (www.hollanderguitars.com) and a fingerstyle guitarist for over 60 years. I came across my first banjo at an estate sale and have since restored it. Finding this banjo has opened up a new world of creative self-expression for me and I am completely hooked on a variety of styles.
