Handmade Guitars by Bob Gramann

The Banjo


I like plunky open-back banjos.  These sound exactly like I want a banjo to sound.  They are made of block walnut rims with integral hard wood tone rings.  The block rim makes a very solid foundation for the banjo's sound and tuning.   The armrests can be easily detached.  These are solid open-backed instruments.
