I was inspired to make this banjo by an old Vega style F tenor banjo that I used to play. A simple design, a comfortable size, sweet tone and loud volume. I chose the 11” rim from my five string banjos and 20” scale from my Baritone ukuleles so everything would feel familiar, although combined in a new way. This one is strung dgbe with baritone uke strings, but it would be suitable for other tunings and steel strings as well. Curly Oregon walnut from Goby in Portland and the pistachio is from woodfromthewest.com. To see the specs or order, hit the models page.

“The instrument arrived today safe and sound. Wow! It sounds so warm and beautiful, and it’s just gorgeous.
I love it.
I’ve only played for like 45 minutes, but I’m very pleased. I’m new to the baritone scale, so I may circle back with questions. But thanks again for everything. I hope to meet you all in person someday to personally express my gratitude for making such fine instruments.
