Hi, I’m Pete Strickler. I am a Colorado native, and I’ve been playing Irish music on the tenor banjo since 2000.
Over that period of time, I have bought and sold nearly 50 tenor banjos. So I’ve got a bit of a reputation as somewhat of a banjo pusher! But I’m really just more of an enthusiast. I teach lessons out of my home or yours, or Skype if that’s what you prefer. And I have a selection of banjos for sale, including several that I keep around just for students who are just starting out. I also do banjo setups specifically for Irish tuning (GDAE), and can help you get your instrument sounding the way you want!
