Yet this piece of misinformation gets repeated and slightly changed and never corrected at the source or in subsequent writings and rantings on the ever-perfect-and-always-correct Internet. How do I know? Because I have one, and that's about as primary as you can get. If you research this, you'll find such seemingly unimpeachable expertise as the Experience Music Project's curator of exhibits stating that the pickup in a ViViTone guitar there is an electrostatic type. Just a quick "for example".one of my side interests is in finding out just whether Lloyd Loar was the first to put a pickup into a guitar (or mando or fiddle).

The problem is that by NOT going to a primary source for information, what you get may just be conjecture, and at worst, what you'll get on the Internet is misinformation that has been endlessly recycled and is now taken to be the gospel truth. Are they Rickard banjos or "fill in the blank" banjos?Īnyway, there are better folks to ask about this than us here. Do you know that a lot of banjo makers get hardware and other important parts from sub-contractors, and yet the "builder's" name is on the product? For instance, Bill Rickard supplies a lot of OT banjo makers with everything from just hooks and shoes on to tone rings, rims, and neck blanks. Who made it.or at least some of the parts? Could have been FQMS could have been StewMac etc. What's in a name? Try Gibson banjos, for instance. Also, few people understand just how much sub-contracting and private label manufacturing has been done for decades (actually centuries) in the musical instrument business. You don't tool up to make something like this and then drop out a year later unless you've got money to burn. I don't know if other companies made Keith tuners in SS, but Gotoh knows, Schaller knows, Stew Mac knows, and Bill Keith knows.Īnd the folks at StewMac are pretty good about answering questions, but printed instructions and even a logo on a part are fairly meaningless.īut I can tell you that tooling up to make Keith-style D-Tuners is one hell of a commitment to making or having made a lot of tiny precision parts.

The reason I thought these might be Keith tuners is because in the photo they look more like stainless steel than plated brass, and Keith is noted for his decision to make the housings for his tuners out of stainless, but that's me looking at a photo on a computer screen. And why ask here when one could ask the folks at Stewart MacDonald or ask Bill Keith? Why not ask two of the companies who might actually know something first hand? I see this all the time on the Internet.people want some information, but the last places and/or people they want to ask are the ones most directly involved. And why does it matter so much? Why is it such a big deal? They're either decent Keith/Bump designed D-Tuners or they're not.
