This is a lightweight banjo made of walnut and quarter-sawn oak. The 11" pot has an integral flange for attachment of the hooks as well as a turned oak tone ring. The neck and pot are attached with a dowel stick and an ebony wedge to further reduce weight. The inlays are pearl, with an engraved star in the headstock and dot position markers. The neck also has pearl side dots and a capo spike for the 5th string at the 7th fret. The moon shape compensated bridge is made of walnut and ebony. The finish is shellac and is silky to the touch.
