Description
This is banjo#542, a tall gourd, fretted 5 string that stands a little straighter and tells s lot more stories than most banjos. Built from Walnut and Cherry , it looks like it came out of the woods already knowing three fiddle tunes and one questionable campfire joke.
Fully fretted for folks who enjoy hitting the right notes n purpose, this banjo is equally at home on a front porch, a jam circle or leaning in the corner judging your rhythm. Pick it up and it immediately feels like it’s been waiting for you- probably since 1847.
