Your banjo split what should you do?
Assuming you mean the drum head split, you need to get a replacement banjo head. They can cost less than $15.
The first step of replacing it is to remove all the strings.
There are most likely metal hooks around the head that holds it tight onto the banjo. You'd have to loosen each of those to remove the cracked head, replace it, and tighten them again. This is not really a high precision job. You don't want it to be too tight, but not saggy. You can make tension adjustments at any time, so play around and figure out what sounds best.
I believe it's Janos Starker, who was principal cello of the CSO at the time
of the recording. Now he's a cello professor at Indiana University.
It's not Starker. He left the orchestra in 1958. And he's now dead. The cellist in question was Robert LaMarchina. You can read about him at
Mr. Starker is still very much alive, well, and active in Bloomington, Indiana at the time of this posting - July 2008.
The first and third answers are indeed correct. Mr. Starker played on the record in his last season with Chicago. And he is still alive at the time of this posting - September 2009. Robert Lamarchina, who however has died, played the solos when the orchestra recorded the concerto just a couple of years later, with Svjatoslav Richter, during the 1960-61 season. The conductor of that session, Richter's debut on American records, was Erich Leinsdorf, stepping in for an ailing Fritz Reiner.

How Many Winchester 100 243 carbines were made?
Don't know about the 243 carbine but the serial numbers for the model 100 go up to 263170 on the site I use to check dates. That number sounds about right but the model 100 was made in a .308 and a .243 with the .308 being the majority.
I know they are student violins, but anytime i google cremona, there is always a series (SV-100 or SV-250 for example), and I can't find any indication of what series this violin might be in. I would like to find out if it's worth $50 or more like $300

It worth as much as some one is willing to pay for it. I have two, I paid $100 for one and $60 for a Highly modified one. Americans just don't know what to do with them so they try and make guitars out of them. Both were modified.
You can buy a brand new unmolested one for about $250 from a warehouse in LA.
They were not meant to be expensive. They were meant to be a Turkish folk instrument for the everyday citizen but now days mostly Gypsies play them.
There are only about 3000 made a year but that doesn't mean they go for big bucks. Very few know what to do with it in America and consider it more of a novelty item.
