Description
Banjo #550 “Raven” is a handcrafted fretless gourd banjo featuring a handcarved Raven head peghead, a cherry neck, and a smooth oak fingerboard. Its natural gourd body delivers a warm, earthy, old-time tone, while the fretless design allows for expressive slides, microtones, and the authentic feel of early banjo playing. Built with traditional materials and careful craftsmanship, Raven blends rustic aesthetics with rich, organic sound.
