Since it's not about 'Pedal Steel', I'm moving this to the 'Music' forum.

| Several years ago Sho_Bud made a steel that stood on a frame and have pedals run to the floor. The pedals worked on the order of Phil Baugh's MSA pedal only on banjo. This had a sho-bud name on the banjo. It was made for Buck Trent but he didn't like it and took it to a music store on Galiton Rd. for sale. Weirdest thing you could have imagined, should have bought it,right. |

Hi there Damir,
I just took a look at the link and I'd say that it wasn't made in the U.S. From my limited experience with Banjos over the years and having "messed" with them on and off since the mid fifties, I'd say it was made in Japan.
The reason being is that the flange cutouts aren't symetrical like most U.S. made Banjos, but are bowed/barrel shaped.
About that time in the early seventies when possibly this Banjo came to these shores, "Mr Banjo USA" (Rich Richlieu) was meeting with a Japanese guy in the Chicago airport lounge on regular occasions to exchange instrument parcels that had been checked with the custom authorities. He told me that he sent about 10 collector Banjos to Japan on regular occasions - the Japanese guy always went back with a host of goodies on the next returning flight....... 
Bob Mainwaring. Z.Bs. and other weird things.
