Please don't make any more donations. He was extremely grateful for all of you support and was joyful to return to his shop before he passed.

I am a retired entrepreneur that loves assembling banjos. I have used parts from Arthur to assemble banjos.

This happened to Arthur Hatfield yesterday.

Some of you may already know. Yesterday 01/10/25, around 8pm I got a call informing me that a true landmark was destroyed. That little shop that we've all come to love at the end of Burton Ridge Rd is gone. A fire destroyed the building and all contents before firefighters could get to the scene. Arthur rarely posts here, so I thought would let you all know. Arthur was not harmed by the fire. This is a sad day for a lot of people in the banjo community.
