Description

Here's a great open-back banjo by Joe Mendel of Chesterfield, MO. It features solid Maple (reclaimed from a 100 year old Michigan farmhouse) construction, with and integral tone ring. It's perfect for clawhammer-style playing, and has excellent projection and sustain, thanks, in part, to the laminated maple neck. It's a whole lotta banjo for not much scratch!

If you're looking for a great-sounding, hand-crafted banjo that won't break the bank, this is the perfect instrument. It's open-back style is great for frailing, and it's got a simple elegance to it that I find very appealing.

I really like these banjos. The tone is bright and has lots of ring which can be dampened per each user's particular taste using a towel or duct tape on the head.
