I can’t wait until I have the money to order one of these. Your banjos have always been the most beautiful sounding ones I’ve ever heard!

The crow and humming bird, all day. Sweet

This is a wonderfully useful video for getting an idea of how heads affect sound. Thank you for all you do for the banjo community.

[@ertworks1507]

That was both very neat and very helpful, thank you! Gorgeous banjos!!!

[@nikovacevic]

Incredible sound. The bass from those calf-skin heads is amazing.

[@ramakisoradasa5814]

Wow, amazing, I love the sound of number 5

[@juliabyrd9204]

wonderful work on them all!

[@clawhammer704]

Renaissance head sounds best to me.

[@AGKimberly]

Love the bass with the calf skins. I didn’t know there’d be such a difference. What kind of strings do you use? Would love to see a comparison of string types. This was really helpful.

[@erikcorbitt2761]

What tune is this? Lovely sounding banjos! Love the compass and bird inlays!

[@tomnelson3362]

If I add a suede head tomy beginer banjo will it give that loooow plunky soung?

[@Griphos]

They are all very nice. I really like the second one, walnut with fiberskin head. The bass for days has too much woof for me, but does sound very interesting. Is the clearer and even tone on the last one more about the maple? Or the head? The suede head was nice. I don't think I've ever heard a suede head before. Beautiful work on all of them!
