Since the BRC homepage was first uploaded online in April of 2011, the website has accrued 500K visits. The workshop staff thanks our faithful readers and the Vega Martin Banjo Info mailbox correspondents for frequenting the BRC. To celebrate this special milestone, we are introducing the `Starry Night` model 5-string starter banjo. The designation of this objet d`art is a natural because “Van Gogh” rhymes with “banjo”.
The famous celestial `Starry Night` canvas was limned in 1889, only a few years after the banjo club at a prominent women`s college in Boston was photographed as seen below (click to enlarge). The celebrated Van Gogh painting was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in NYC in 1941.
To further salute our 0.5M site visits, we share a few delightful comments left by gracious readers in our Vega Martin Banjo Info mailbox:

P.S. In closure to this special webpage occasion, the BRC founder was designated a ‘banjo whisperer’ by our young workshop Director of R&D (yellow suit) for repairing or restoring 24 banjos since the inception of the website.
