Where Purchased: From Ron Coleman directly
2014 Update: I plunked down another $50 for my 3rd Ron Coleman armrest. Once again, a well-made 'rest of flamed maple that Ron took the time to stain as closely to the color and depth of the banjo it went on! By providing a tracing of the Elton armrest and a couple of photos of the banjo, Ron was able to do his magic.
This is Ron's second model -- cut to fit an outline of the standard, all-metal arm rest you send him. I bought his first model about a year ago and highly recommend it. His #2 design is equally high-quality. It's L-shaped so that it fits both the top and the front (or side) of the arm rest. Mine is walnut and it's a beautiful piece of wood. It comes well-packed, with Ron's signature and the date of creation on the inside. The adhesive strips that Ron uses to attach the arm rest to your base are strong: it won't pop off or slip. Ron makes bridges, too, and I'm waiting for a chance to try the one he sent me. I recommend his products without reservation. -- Andrew Stevenson, 2011.
