Banjo Features

Ball Banjo Company is a one-man operation with very limited output.  Collaborative efforts between customer and maker to create special, one of a kind instruments is my specialty.

Although each banjo made by Ball Banjos is unique, there are features common to all banjos from this shop:  

• Handmade one at a time from the finest materials
• Original designs
• Custom inlay and engraving a specialty
• Deep responsive tone
• Carefully "relieved" neck for easy action
• 25 3/4" scale and 12" rims standard, others available
• Frailing scoop with decorative ogee standard
• Wooden or brass tone rings
• Internal resonator optional
• Cole style "Boat" heel provides better neck to rim contact for superior tone
• Decorative carving at 5th peg portion of neck
• Colorful veneers with matching side dots
• Carbon Fiber reinforced neck for enhanced strength and tone without adding additional weight
• Genuine French Polish shellac finish
• Made by a banjo player for banjo players
