I'm reluctantly selling my 1972 Baldwin Ode Style D banjo. Baldwin and Ode on headstock. Serial number places it around 1972. Its in great condition with the exception of wear on some of the gold plating. This banjo is a hoss. Beautiful walnut neck and resonator veneer.

Scruggs tuners on 2 and 3. Powerful and crisp with very good note separation. Good intonation down the neck. You will not be disappointed.

Formerly owned by Buddy Blackmon, noted banjo teacher, Nashville session musician, and associate of Bobby Thompson. I don't have documentation to support this, but its a fact.

Comes in a period hard shell case. Extras: I hate to ship a fine banjo so I won't. I'm willing to meet halfway though up to 150 miles.

It had pretty good inlays and the peghead had a 'Baldwin' banner and said Ode below it. Are these generally pretty good? Todd Good grief - - - A Baldwin ODE? If you don't want it, send me a private message where it can be bought. Baldwins have been the 'go-to-banjo' for quite a few professional pickers back in the 70's/ 80's/ etc. Posted -: 04:22:09 quote: Originally posted by BoneDigger I have a line on an old Baldwin Ode banjo at a local dealer and I no nothing of these banjos.

Are these generally pretty good? Todd I have owned a Baldwin ODE Style C since 1981 when I purchased it from Shade Tree Music in Southern California and still play it. I started on that banjo and have debated selling it before but always back out after taking it out of the case.

Posted -: 04:44:14 As you're learning, Baldwins/Odes are highy respected and very well-built banjos. They're also approaching a modest degree of collectability. Try to get a little more information about it - year (or serial number) and model number. Some photos would help. Mike Stanger here on the Hangout (Stanger is his handle) is one of our resident Ode experts and can give you a lot of information.

My first banjo was an Ode 2SR - their entry level instrument, archtop with an aluminum rim. It's quite good for that, and plays beautifully. With your description of 'nice inlays' I'm guessing you're looking at a model C or D, which had a wood rim and a cast tone ring. Posted -: 07:11:12 Bluegrass pickers liked the Baldwin/Ode Models C and D. Good flat head tone rings, nice walnut wood.

Model C is nickel (maybe chrome?) plated with modest inlay pattern. Model D is gold plated, engraved, with big flashy floral inlays. These models are indeed heavy and loud. You can see Bobby Thompson playing the Model D on the old Hee Haw shows.

Fine bluegrass banjos, just be careful that you don't overpay. Shop around here on BHO, EBay, the on-line inventories of vintage dealers, and get a feel for the market pricing. Posted -: 11:12:04 I have a buddy that has had one for years. It id a cannon but has a slightly longer scale and the fingerboard is much thinner below the 5th fret than I am used to. Nothing wrong with them at all they are just different, and the are heavy and loud! I think as well that they were probably better than most 70's Gibsons being made around then. The style c was the first professional banjo I ever had in my hands and that was the beginning of my long journey as a banjo player!

A Journey in Futility Trouble is brewing for AMD, Radeon Technologies Group, and Lisa Su, CEO and President. While on the surface it may just seem as though AMD engineers have once again missed the mark when it comes to building a new high-end graphics technology, but there is a lot more to the story. From ATI to AMD back to ATI? As AMD prepares for a it faces an unprecedented amount of turmoil and uncertainty around its graphics business spurred by a lack of leadership, a newfound culture clash, and out-of-control egos eager to get into a DeLorean to rewind the clock to 2004.
