This instrument is for a student of Steve Varney, so this banjo is pretty close to his instrument. 12” walnut block rim with a brass tone ring, fiberskyn head and steel strings. The curly walnut for the neck and rim and the pistachio fretboard and head plate are from California orchards via woodfromthewest.com. This instrument feels dark and rich, but the brass ring helps it sing too. It’s very comfortable to play and I’ll be sad/happy to see it go!

“Is this what a real banjo sounds and feels like?????? Wow – it’s a whole new world.
Aaron – this is truly fantastic. Everything is what I had hoped it would be – tone, wood, general feel, neck shaping, weight. Everything. Marvelous job and Thank You!
