Banjo SN 0011

This is the third banjo produced in my Lightweight banjo line.  It is constructed of beautiful curly maple and cherry, with an ebony fretboard and headstock.  The pot has a turned flange to eliminate the weight of the "L" shoe brackets normally used on banjos.  The pot also has a curly maple tone ring that was turned on the lathe.  The neck and pot are joined with a dowel stick and an ebony wedge to eliminate additional weight.  The neck is made from the same beautiful curly maple and has a cherry heel cap.  Pearl position markers and side dots mark the ebony fretboard and an exposed truss rod nut is visible in the frailing scoop.  A single engraved star adorns the headstock. The entire banjo is finished in a french polish that is beautiful and silky.  It has a very sweet tone!  You can hear this banjo on Youtube by clicking the links below:
