Mary | Banjo #219
Mary is a delightful 12 inch banjo. She is made of Wenge, Moabi Blanc, Padouk, Mountain Mahogany and Oregon White Ash. Excepting for a few woods, our banjo construction recipe calls for a variety of woods of varying cell structure and air content. We are fortunate to have an extensive variety of woods, local and from abroad. Mary plays and sounds superb; she will stand the test of time for tone, durability and playability.
