Proudly show your support of Buckeye Banjos and the art of handcrafted instruments.

Solid-Foot Cherry Bridges

Hand Cast Bronze Tailpieces

The bridge is one of the most critical elements of any stringed instrument. These cherry bridges provide a balanced, mellow tone for any banjo.

Hand Cast Bronze Tailpieces

By increasing the string pressure on the bridge, these moderate length tailpieces increase the projection and note clarity of any banjo.

Blackwood Fretboards

Blackwood fretboards provide a sustainable, environmentally friendly, wood alternative to ebony, while having the same density, color and workability.

Goat Skins

Blackwood Fretboards

Natural goat skins have been the traditional choice for banjo heads for centuries, and provide a warm, full, mellow tone.

Featured Video

Here is a lovely video of my friend Debra Clifford, of The Lonesome Sisters, playing a beautiful WV tune called Biddy on Buckeye #170...unfortunately, Debra passed away in 2022 and is sorely missed.
