*Actual Photos of #095 Missing*

This banjo has the standard Seeders 12″ Walnut Style 1 specs. It features a simple look with a focus on play ability and tone. The rolled brass tone ring is an excellent choice for old-time playing and the 12″ rim gives it a rich deep sound.  The neck is a modern C shape neck for a comfortable feel.

This banjo was made for a raffle at the Green Mountain Bluegrass Festival in 2019. It features all native Vermont hardwoods and custom inlays depicting the logo of the festival and the state of Vermont. It’s built from Cherry which naturally darkens over time so the contrasts of the wood become more enhance and the colors become much more rich over an extended time making for an instrument that visually changes slightly with age.

This banjo is the first of a sustainable model that I’ve introduced. It features all domestic hardwoods, Richlite details, and minimal plastics (the only plastic is the tuner knobs). It also features my preffered waterbourne “ultra-low” VOC lacquer finish which has an incredibly low impact on the environment compared to traditional finishes.
