OLD VIA BANJOS

Home

These handcrafted banjos are made from top grade wood and high quality parts. Made in the USA from top to bottom. American Craftsmanship, from the hills of Virginia. I have a variety of makes and models to choose from. My Banjos are usually made with maple, with a walnut trim.

Here are a few of my banjos..

My banjo building method is a mixture of several makers from the past and present. It is a time consuming process, but I produce a high quality, well-built banjo. Banjo sound varies from the hugh sound of the Whyte Ladie, the mid sound of the Little Wonder, and the full, mellow, sound of the Piedmont and Standards.

I wanted to thank, most of all, God above. I also want to thank the ones who are passing down the knowledge to keep this old craft going.
