Dive into the Legacy of Stelling with an Unparalleled Find

In the heart of every musician and instrument enthusiast lies a deep appreciation for not only the music these tools produce but also the stories they carry and the craftsmanship they showcase. It's this very passion that drives us at Papaw Odell's to continuously search for special instruments that not only play beautifully but also come with a history that enriches their value. We are thrilled to share with you a remarkable find: a vintage Stelling catalog, a detailed service manual and setup guide, and, to our excitement, an immaculate Stelling jacket.

The Stelling Legacy

Stelling Banjo Works, founded by Geoff Stelling in 1974, has been synonymous with quality and innovation in the world of high-end banjos. Known for their exceptional sound, intricate inlays, and robust construction, Stelling banjos have carved a niche for themselves among bluegrass and folk musicians worldwide.

A Celebration of Craftsmanship

What sets Stelling apart is not just the quality of materials or the precision of their construction; it's the brand's commitment to creating instruments that are as visually stunning as they are musically expressive. The meticulous craftsmanship involved in each banjo reflects Stelling's passion for music and dedication to the art of instrument making. This commitment to quality ensures that every banjo from Stelling is not merely an instrument but a masterpiece of craftsmanship and sound.
