REVEL BANJOS
 

Flying!...
#9  2001
 

The rim is a Stewart McDonald thinned from the inside. With internal resonator.

The tone ring is an ff Bacon on top of the scallopped part of a WL tone ring.

The theme of the decoration is about the for ever man's dream of flying. On the bottom of the neck you see Icarus falling after his wings have been melt by the sun while on the head you can see a flying cosmonaut finally flying freely in space. On the back is a quiet angel (from heaven?) looking peacefuly to the wild flights of bats (from hell?). On the back of the head, climbing and vanishing legs which could be the Soul flying to heaven...
