Banjo.com Launches Blog

Banjo.com has been a premier online destination for banjos and bluegrass instruments since its inception. Company founder John Drummond has now teamed up with recognized banjo professionals and created a new blog to feature their expert knowledge. Topics will include banjo history, choosing the right banjo, picking and setup techniques, music styles and much more.

Marietta, GA September 17, 2009 -- John Drummond launched www.Banjo.com because he wanted a local resource that was dedicated to serving the needs of banjo players. "I wanted to compare the many different brands side-by-side, in one location. Most stores had a huge selection of guitars and only one or two banjos. This predicament and a lifelong passion for banjos led me to start this small enterprise."
Launched in 2003, Banjo.com started as a small retail store offering a handful of banjos from the most popular manufacturers. The selection has since swelled to offer more than 600 distinctive banjos. Other acoustic bluegrass instruments were added in the years since -- guitars, fiddles, mandolins, resonator guitars and dulcimers. This has drawn banjo and bluegrass players from North and South America, Europe, Asia and even Australia to visit the Atlanta-area Banjo.com showroom.
