Product Details
We love this mountain banjo. It has such a pleasing size and just the right proportions. The complete lack of metal hardware around the body keeps this instrument clean looking and light weight.
The pre-cut parts fit together very nicely, but you will shape the back of the neck, install marking dots and frets in the fretboard, cut the peghead shape however you like, and glue the fretboard and nut onto the neck.
Fretted or fretless. Steel strings or nylgut. Make the banjo YOU want. Just pick your options above.
What's Included:
- All pre-cut wood parts
- All musical hardware and strings.

I was excited to receive this kit. I do have several banjos already; however, I did not have a mountain banjo. I have built gourd banjos and ekontings (I went to Gambia in 2004 and 2007 to learn how to play and make them) from scratch, so I am not a beginner in terms of making instruments. I had a lot of fun putting the kit together. I do have a few observations regarding tips or slight modifications in the instruction manual, if interested.
Thanks!
