Comment by Derek Rose on December 2, 2018 at 4:20pm: Love your playing Casey

Comment by Casey Baron on December 2, 2018 at 6:52am: Thank you!

Comment by Casey Baron on December 1, 2018 at 8:00am: Thanks Jim! The kit neck was fine (apart from a maybe touch too much relief), I just wanted to make a bit thicker of a neck for some more strength, along with narrowing the width down (while still maintaining the original string spacing since I had the room to do so).

Comment by Jim Morris on December 1, 2018 at 3:03am: Very nice Casey! Excellent clawhammer too.Was there a problem with the kit neck?

Comment by Casey Baron on December 1, 2018 at 1:18am: Thank you!

Comment by Dave Lynas on November 30, 2018 at 3:29pm: Thanks for the Cripple Creek Rapids Ride. Beautiful pickin. I can learn from on my Casey.

Comment by BrianQ. on November 30, 2018 at 3:06pm: Very crisp sounding banjo, stellar pickin’ there, great stuff
