No. Rudy Lyle, best known as Bill Monroe's banjo picker on "Rawhide"(the Bill Monroe instrumental and nothing to do with the old TV series)played a Gibson banjo. The "Lyle" banjo was a cheap Japanese or Korean or Taiwanese(doesn't matter which) mass-market entry-level banjo. The name of the "Lyle" banjo has nothing to do with Rudy, nor he with it. This type of banjo is made by a diversified industrial corporation and the name can be anything, at the request of the importer/distributor.
