Description
This is a new Barry Sholder Gourd 5 string Banjo #499 fretless Irma. why Irma…..? the original Irma was built during Hurricane Irma. Pretty instrument. Finished in hand-rubbed oil. This particular instrument features a smaller Kettle gourd. However because of the 6″ depth, she puts out a lot of wind.
