This is the last instrument before my hand surgery break and it feels good to end on a high note. This banjo is lightweight but solid, loud but sweet and easy to play. No tone ring, just a wooden rim with goat skin head and non steel strings. A really great combo that I have really enjoyed playing lately. The Cherry comes from the Carpenter Ant stash in Portland, originally milled for grandfather clocks. The dark, grafted Pistachio is from California Orchards. Cheers Ben- it was great to meet you in England!

I’ll resume building in September- see you folks then!
