I'm not in the banjo building business, nor am I trying to make a living selling banjos. The idea was to build a great banjo, sold directly to
the player at a fair price, eliminating the distributor/dealer price additions. Maple, Mahogany, Walnut (gold-plated) Rocky Top Mahogany (nickel hardware, gold tone ring) The price is $4350 plus shipping $2000 deposit (negotiable) is required with order.
