Welcome to Buckeye Banjos!

I just completed banjo #100 so be sure to check it out on the Latest Banjos page.  It's a banjeaurine, which is a small banjo that was popular in the late 19th century, and it is highly ornamented with engraved, Cole inspired inlays.

I'm also happy and honored to be included in the North American Banjo Builders Documentary Series which was created by Craig Evans and will be carried by Smithsonian Folkways. The Eastern set of the series has recently been completed and includes interviews with 14 banjo builders plus interviews with some of the countries top banjo players, banjo retailers, and ethnomusicologist Richard Jones-Bamman.  There is currently a short Preview of the Buckeye Banjos episode available on YouTube.
