This banjo was born of spare parts. All left over material from other projects. Koa veneer over a Maple/Black Walnut rim with Indian Rosewood binding. The top is Engelmann Spruce with Walnut arm rest. The neck is also Black Walnut with Indian Rosewood veneers and fingerboard. The soundboard is a thin braced wood top instead of a drum head. The result is a no twang, soft, subtle, warm sound. Almost like a tenor guitar. I hope to post a sound clip soon.
