Fretless Octagon Kentucky Banjo Building Course

$150.00

Instruments like these have been made for centuries with minimal tools. So I thought it would be great to teach a course on building a fretless octagon Kentucky banjo with as few basic tools as possible. This banjo is made only with a hand saw, coping saw, drill, a $4 reamer, and a file. This video course takes you step by step in making your own octagon banjo as I build one. The course also comes with a crash course in clawhammer basics and one song to get you started.

This course consists of close to 5 hours of step by step instruction broken down into 26 sections. Each short section deals with a task or element of the build, giving lots of alternative and basic ways of working. I tried to make this course as accessible as possible for those with any level of experience.

For those looking for a power tool experience or build with more complexity make sure to check out the Appalachian Mountain Banjo Course I offer as well.
