The Collings OM1 ESS Englemann Short Scale doesn’t disappoint in any area. It is about as perfectly built as a guitar can be, with a full, even, rich yet brilliant sound – and this is before it’s been played in at all.

This C. Bruno and Son fretless banjo arrived here about 15 years ago and has been in storage ever since. As is often the case with my “projects”, it was forgotten for years. I recently came into a lovely set of Ivoroid friction tuners that reminded me of the Bruno banjo and its need for appropriate tuners. This 130-year-old set of friction pegs were typical of the 1880s or 90s. And since they are synthetic ivory, they are legal under the CITES regulations.

MORE →The Cervantes Fleta Signature classical guitar is part of the top range of Cervantes production. Based on the designs developed by Ignacio Fleta in the late 1950’s and 1960’s, these guitars feature stiffer tops and more robust construction, and of course specialized bracing patterns. They are characterized by a strong, warm, full tone with a lot of projection and volume available.
