I designed this banjo as an all around size that would sound great with steel or non-steel strings and various tunings. This one is going to the customer tuned dgbe with my set of fluorocarbon and wound strings. It has a big dynamic range, is easy to play and feels balanced in my lap. The tone is bright but sweet with nice sustain. The pistachio comes from California orchards, the maple is Henry’s dance floor maple, found at an estate sale.

“I received my new baritone banjo ukulele in excellent condition and it sounds great. Thank you. These instruments were made with love and that is a mystical and magic additive that few other instruments have. As a retired physician, one of the best gifts that you can give to the medical personnel, who are on the front lines battling the virus for all of us and are subject to all the emotional damage that comes their way, is a musical instrument like the ones you make by hand. It is a spiritual awakening and re-humanization that may save and preserve the lives of the caretakers. You guys have a special purpose in life!
