Project Details

This banjo was custom-made for John Ryster. At the time of the build John was expecting a daughter who was to be named Rose. I decided to feature her name in the bridge and inlay a rose in the peg head. Fingerboard: brass and Richlite Pot: cherry and locust Neck: cherry Peg head: Richlite with inlayed acrylic Bridge: bloodwood and maple Tone ring: brass on brass posts
