1995 Stelling Bill Emerson Red Fox Banjo with original hardshell case
$ 8,999.99
This Stelling Bill Emerson Red Fox banjo came from a private collector and is in excellent condition. The gold plating looks almost brand new, and there is virtually no wear on the edge of the armrest where a banjo player’s forearm usually touches. The engraving also looks fantastic. I especially love the holes in the flange that are engraved on the edge.

The wood on the neck and resonator looks great and is finished in red-shaded cherrywood. There is a bit of wear on the neck in one spot (see photos). There are also a few small divots on the 1st and 2nd fret wires. This is a rare and highly sought-after banjo that comes with the original hardshell Stelling case.

ABOUT:
Geoff Hohwald has been playing banjo since the 1960’s. He became active in the thriving bluegrass community in Ohio as a teenager while studying at Ohio State University. He has played professionally as a guitarist and banjo player with several bluegrass bands ever since. Geoff moved to Atlanta after college and co-founded the Watch and Learn publishing company. They now publish a full line of musical instrument instruction books and digital modules. He also owned several music stores in Atlanta from the 1980s through the mid-2000s and is still an active participant in the musical instrument re-sale community in the southeast.
Banjo Warehouse is a family business resulting from 50 years of experience in music and 40 years of experience in musical instrument retail sales and education. Our focus is on the 5-string flathead banjo, but we also occasionally have a good selection of guitars and mandolins (and other folk instruments).
