The banjos I completed and sent to Queensland this year Walnut and Maple 20 '" Irish tenors

Wow, those are beautiful banjos!! I've never played a tenor, but I never met a banjo I didn't like.
Did you build the resonators?

Ron

Hi Ron
I have been using Cox resonators . Now I have a new lathe I going to make them ,the quality of the Cox is not what it should be now days ,besides I prefer the tone of solid wood resonators .

That walnut looks dead sexy Phil, unfortunately the Maple is a little washed out in that dazzling Aussie sun but both look like quality bits of work. Do you make 5 stringers as well?

beautiful Phil, that walnut is drop dead sexy!

Can you believe there used to be "Jo" jikes on some of these forums? They are now all drummer jokes....

Dead sexy is right Phil. Do you have any more shots of those beauties?

Ron, you're beginning to worry me.

Filthy finish Phil, I would like to see some more shots to, a little closer and a bit less reflection maybe...they both look great.

Cheers

Kim

beautiful stuff Phil. we need more banjos around here.

Those are beautiful Phil. I didn't know that a banjo came in an extra small, and I come from the land of Banjos. (Family is from the hills of North Carolina and Virgina.)

Any chance of getting a sound clip?

Thanks, I will post a few more pic .Sound file is more tricky see what I can do . The tenor banjo has been around for quite a while ,jazz and irish trad music mostly ,these were tuned Gdae Phill

couple more pics of the walnut tenor cheers Phill

Love the banjo's Phil, they do look classy.
