ONE (1) YEAR ANNIVERSARY - 12/2020

Stone Banjo Company is 1 year old. Hard to believe that it has been one year. 35+ custom and stock banjos made and sold. I would like to thank all my customers that have trusted in Stone Banjo, as a new company, in building their custom banjos. I will be breaking into some new design/build territory to provide high quality and reasonably priced handmade one-of-a-kind banjos. Experiencing customer excitement during the build and final receipt of their new banjo is a new-found favorite of the banjo building business - it brings joy to my heart. Also, I would like to thank Banjo Hangout for a killer website and platform for small builders such as SBC to advertise and sell through classifieds.

So, Laurel and I say "THANK YOU"

Customers asked and I listened

Have retooled to build banjos to suit the clawhammer folks out there.

25.5 scale fretboard - Various woods (or any custom scale)

12-inch rim (most of the banjos I build these days)

1.35-inch nut (or any custom width)

ALSO, building custom Stone Banjo Company (SBC) Brass Tension Hoops. All handmade and a great addition to the one-of-a-kind banjos that my customers enjoy and are proud to own. Take a look at the more recent additions to the family under the "Custom Gallery", "Sold" and "For Sale" menus and you will see these tension hoops are attractive and a perfect fit to Stone Banjos.
