#717- Curly Cherry, Pistachio and Texas Ebony Five String Banjo

Powerful, sweet and clear, with a little grit in the tone to make it interesting. This one is awesome. It vibrates so much while I play that it seems to want to leap out of my lap! 11” rim, 24 hooks, brass tone ring, Hawktail tailpiece, Renaissance head and steel strings. The curly Cherry and Texas Ebony are from a retired banjo builder and the Pistachio is from California orchards. I am really happy with this one, it feels good to get it sorted out as the last instrument before our vacation!
