Banjo #270, “Pete”
Pete is quite a banjo! The “wood recipe” is fantastic in looks and tone. An Eleven-inch banjo, a “long neck” (27 3/4 inch scale) with front and side markers, a gorgeous hand-dyed skin, our “Baroque” peghead, scalloped frets. This banjo will stand the test of time…it is truly a “keeper”!
