This banjo is simple, yet elegant and has a beautiful, balanced tone which would work well in any playing situation. It is easy to play and has enough projection to cut through when needed, but also has a sweet, mellow voice that will sound good played solo, or with just a fiddler.
It is made from a gorgeous piece of very dense, reddish walnut which has a slight bit of figure in the heel. There are thin white/black veneers down the center of the neck and under all the trim wood. While the front of the instrument remains relatively unadorned, the heel features a classic engraved ornament. Experimental details include BUCKEYE stamped into the wood at the base of the scoop and a rounded over rim cap on the interior of the rim.
