Original owners
Although in
many cases the ownership history of a vintage banjo is lost over time, whenever
possible I have included the names of the original owners of the banjos featured
on this site. In some cases, I have also included names of people who, though
not original owners, did own and use the banjo in question for a significant
part of its history. With two or three notable exceptions, I have not listed
the names of living owners.
