Thanks to everyone who has signed up for the tour thus far. There are so many “stops” that we are going to split the itinerary into loops more or less by time zones. This should give better control and lessen the shipping costs from person to person. This baby is going to be on the road for a long time.

Some folks are hesitant to participate because of fear that they may damage the instrument. Please remember that this is a banjo. Anything that breaks or wears out can be easily repaired. What the heck good is a prototype if it languishes in storage. We made the thing to be played, used and enjoyed by as many of you as possible. If something happens just send it home. We will fix it and send it along to the next person.

The final route will be laid out in the next few weeks. There is still room to add your city to the map. There is no risk and no obligation so sign up before you literally miss the boat.

Peace to all,
Pat Costello (Dear Old Dad)

Chris sent us a few pictures of the S-2 this afternoon:

The banjo is here since the day before yesterday and I wanted to send my “unpackaging picture story” to you.
