This is a variation of the Seeders Style 3 Dobson Special made with Curly Maple. This banjo has a powerful well rounded tone unique to the Dobson Special with a comfortable neck profile ideal for all hand sizes and comfort while playing all over the neck. The Dobson Special utilizes a Dobson tone ring mounted on a rolled brass ring to isolate the tone ring from the wooden rim giving it a unique and powerful Dobson sound with more balanced and a crisp overall tone. It’s simple but elegant inlays and overall design has a vintage inspired look while adding modern play ability and durability.

A Curly Maple and Ebony Piccolo banjo with engraved mother of pearl inlays and engraved rim cap. The rim cap is engraved with the owner’s family’s initials as well as a quote from the Mary Oliver poem ‘The Summer Day’.  We used the inlay design from Seeders Banjo #012 as well as the volute detail and bound dowel stick from Seeders Banjo #015. The fifth string neck carving was inspired by the work of Lee Sproull of Alabama.
