Just wanted to say that I just finished my first banjo and you have really been a huge inspiration and help. Thank you! Please take care of yourself. We need as many craftsman and teachers as possible.
So feel for you. My Wife suffers from Chronic pain and has done for many years. Problem being no one can see or tell how bad the pain is and it varies each day. Keep trying all remedies you will find ones that help and your positive attitude and family support are so important. Thanks for sharing the banjo neck, fascinating to watch your craftsmanship, Have a great week.
I'm amazed at how many instruments you're able to produce each month even with all the pain. I've been wanting to make some instruments, but the chronic pain I deal with (neck, back, shoulder, knees) just shuts me down most days. Hopefully the shots in your tendons will help.
I am so sorry to hear of your chronic pain. Thank you so much for making such beautiful instruments for us to all play. I so hope that you are able to find long term solutions that help your hands. And yes, please ask a price that feels correct for the instruments that you make!
Very sorry to hear of your pain, Aaron. You are fighting a tough battle with your body and I know it’s not easy. Many luthiers do charge more and your instruments are certainly worth it.
Man, if this channel shows anything, it shows that these beautiful instruments don’t “make themselves” and their fabrication involves an insane amount of expertise. Everything costs more these days! Congrats on 2.5 yrs!!!

Sorry to hear of your struggles! Guess you need to start grooming your mentor! You make beautiful instruments and music!
