Listen to what Raymond and Jimmy can do with two Cox-Fairchild banjos

Here's what Raymond has to say about this banjo:

Due to the astonishing success of the Cox-Fairchild limited edition [200 banjos produced in the 1990s] and the continuing demand for top quality banjos, I have designed a banjo unlike any other. A banjo with a sound so unique that it is in a class all by itself. A banjo that stays in tune, a banjo that is beautifully and flawlessly built by master craftsman and banjo builder Jimmy Cox.

So all you folks who missed a chance to get a "Cox-Fairchild" and want to add another work of art to your collection, then here is an opportunity you don't want to miss. Designed by Fairchild and built by Cox. The ultimate in five-string banjos.
