A Walnut and Pistachio banjo with a 12” rim has become pretty standard around here and I’m proud of it. Not too loud, not too bright, lots of depth, rich sustain and easy to play. We chose curly Walnut from Southern Oregon and Pistachio from California orchards for this build, all from woodfromthewest.com. The customer requested a tribute to Pete Seeger’s famous banjo head, so Nicole hand lettered and colored it. We will be donating to Pete’s Hudson River charity as part of this tribute and I encourage you to click the link and learn more about it. Let’s all “Surround Hate and Force it to Surrender.”
