About Me

Greetings, fellow banjo enthusiasts.

My name is Vincent ("Vinnie")Mondello

I am 50 yrs old , hail from Longview, TX.

and Stromberg 4 string tenor banjos are my passion.

My affinity with the banjo started when I was 8 yrs old.My Grandfather and Father were both prominent banjo players from E.Boston Mass. and played with many bands and orchestras throughout their lives.My Dad grew up playing instruments in Chas and Elmer Strombergs shop,at 40 Hanover St.E.Boston and my Grandfather worked at Stromberg and The Fairbanks-Vega Co.building instruments.During this time they both tested some of the finest stringed instruments ever made. My Dad has played his entire life and just recently decided to begin to retire from active playing.
I enjoy doing the restoration thing,as there is many old "JO'S" out there that need attention so that they can get back into the mainstream of banjo players.

I think that through the spirit of my Grandfather and in honor of my Father ,both who played great banjo over the years,I will earn my spot among them through bringing life to the instruments that have given myself and others so much joy over the years.

This page will continue to grow and link with all other 4 string tenor enthusiasts,and I will do my best to help anyone with any problems that they might have.The Banjo Must Live On!!
