The Transition from Artist/Artisan to Businessman 002
I will NOT make another Mastertone clone… er…. well maybe…
When I started making banjos I fantasized about putting my mark on every aspect of banjo design, including peghead, inlay and more. Now that I am trying to survive as a businessman I have noticed that my own designs do not have the immediate mass appeal that I imagined.
Customers seem to trust the look they are familiar with. While designing is fun there is also joy in setting out to make something and having it come out as planned. I will settle for this joy and add to it the joys of satisfied customers and money in my PayPal account.
