This customer wanted a lightweight, easily playable banjo with a vintage sound. We chose to use less brass hardware and a short scale neck to lighten it up. The goatskin head and non steel strings helped to get the vibe too. The dark stain, Walnut shell dyed head and patinated brass hardware seal the deal. It has a Maple rim, Cherry neck from the Carpenter Ant stash and Pistachio from California orchards for everything else. Cheers, Sara!

“Hello Aaron and Nicole,

I just got my banjo and I wanted to just say again, thank ya’ll SO MUCH! I swear Aaron you are a wizard. It has such a deep, resonant sound especially for its size. It is so comfortable to play. And your detail work of the tailpiece and the stain finish and the hand dyed head. Really knocked it out of the park. Also, the handwritten note telling me what the banjo is made from and the beautiful hardcase. Perfection, really.
