This banjo was built in October and November 2021 at home in Herne Hill.

​

The neck and middle ring are cherry, with a walnut fingerboard. The front and back plates of the body are oak.

​

The nuts are bone and the skin is calfskin vellum, with an internal tension hoop made of PVC.

​

The strings are nylgut (Aquila ‘Classic’ 6B) and the tuning pegs are Leader planetary tuners. The bridge is maple and ebony, and the tailpiece is walnut – from the same piece as the fingerboard.

​

This banjo was built to commission.
