Welcome to the Carryin On Store!

Here at the store you can buy various folk toys, CDs, windchimes, and even a homemade fretless banjo!  All toys and whistles are finished with a non-toxic foodsafe finish, although I would not recommend eating any of the toys.  The site is secured through Paypal (you do not need a Paypal account to make purchases). Please check out the video for demo of products.


fretless banjo
Hand-made Fretless Banjo
My fretless banjo are based on those built be the Hicks and Gleen families of Watauga county, North Carolina.  This style represent how the banjo would have looked in the southern Appalachian back around 1850.  Available in the hard wood of your choice (cherry, black walnut, and/or maple) witht a calf skin drum head.  You can hear a bunch of my banjos at my You Tube channel.

Limber Jack
A percussion toy that was sometimes used for band accompaniment.  You sit your behind on one end of the board, place the limber jack at the other end of the board, and tap the board with one hand.  The tapping board causes the limber jack to wave his arms and legs.  You will be the life of the party!
