Bad River Banjos Deutsch Fretless Banjo No.5

Completely hand made by Paul Corrigan using only original 19th and early 20th century hand tools. Each Bad River Banjo takes approximately one year to make. The finest crafted banjo I have seen or played - and an absolute rarity. 11 x 2.6 inch black walnut pot, 11 inch goat skin head, ebony tone ring, black walnut neck, ebony fretboard, maple/ebony two foot minstrel bridge and ground nylon strings. The banjo weight is a heartily solid 5.2 lb / 2.4 kg and the scale length is 25.5 inch.

A very beautiful sounding banjo, which should be hung on a wall in a cabin somewhere and played with groups of friends at night by an open fire. A privilege to be able to play it.
