As far as the looks go, the pale maple, crazy pistachio and darkened brass is a cool combination. As far as sound, the curly maple, brass tone ring and goat skin head gives a vibrant and traditional vibe. I made my own brass tension hoop, tone ring and flesh hoop for this build and it was a nice challenge.

The curly maple came from Wildwood banjos when Mark retired and the pistachio is from California orchards.

“Hey Aaron-
Just a quick note to say that the banjo arrived safe and sound. It was here when I got home from work and I am just now putting it down. It is beautiful. I know I had a pretty specific vision for this instrument and you really knocked it out of the park. Thank you.
