Check out that maple! I pulled this board from the Carpenter Ant Stash for my kitchen cabinets, but decided it was too nice for that. Maple is the traditional tone wood for banjos and this is a good example of why. Rich, loud and sweet at the same time. The pistachio is from California orchards and is a perfect secondary wood to the curly maple.

“Hi Nicole and Aaron,

I’m loving the Banjo uke! It’s the absolute best of both worlds for me, banjo sound without having to learn a new instrument. That said, I’m busy trying to reimagine some of the tunes I play with Banjo type fills. I am enjoyed how it has both a nice, long sustain and also a percussive attack. How is it possible to have both? Good intonation all the way up, and it looks gorgeous. I really like the curly maple. I also bought a new amp to plug in to (fishman loudbox charge), and this thing is a cannon played through the amp.

Thanks again!
