Dear Pat and DoD,
I just got married last weekend and although I’ve only been playing for about 6 months, I belted out a version of “The Wild Rover” at my big fat Irish wedding. This was my first performance in public. It was one of the scariest things I have ever done (and I’ve jumped out of airplanes). The worst happened: I forgot some lyrics and was about 60% as good as I am in private on the banjo. Guess what? No one cared. The crowd was so into it that they filled in what I forgot and helped me along. This was by far one of the highlights of an awesome reception. I want to thank you guys for all the services you have provided that enabled me to do this (and put that look of sheer joy on my new wife’s face).
Coming Soon (or) Film At Eleven

Here is a sneak preview of what’s happening at Pik-Ware.
More cigar box ukes are on the way along with a very special prototype made especially for us to try out. Guess how many strings it has!
We’ll keep you posted on the availability of this cool and funky instrument.
We will have some mountain banjos (fretted and fretless) by next week.
I used to carry a similar banjo in my truck so that I could play anywhere.
Each banjo comes with a padded carrying bag for only $279.95
Super cool and funky metal body resophonic ukes will arrive next week. Patrick can’t wait to get hold of these. Maybe I’ll let him keep one.
These come with a nice Featherweight case for just $379.95
And don’t forget the Somerset banjos.
Work is progressing and we anticipate prototypes in the coming weeks.
Feel free to call me at 410-968-3873 anytime.
That’s enough for now. More later.
Till then, don’t step in anything soft!
