This slothead banjo features a brass and Walnut half spun over rim with a Walnut neck. The unique slotted fifth string tuner is located on the 7th fret, a detail often found on some original Dobson banjos. Because of the extra mass of the slotted fifth string tuner area this gives the player plenty of room below it for more comfortable playing.

This banjo started it’s life as a Washburn Banjolin. It had a broken and badly repaired neck that wasn’t worth saving so I built this neck to go on the rim. It has a very unique design that Washburn used for a few years with many tenor banjos and banjolins. It has a pleasant but unique sound as you could expect from the odd construction of the tone ring and is fun to play.
