These instruments were handmade by local craftsman, here
Ross Martin. They are works of art as well as superb musical instruments that are meant to be played.
The 005 Banjo features a Tallowwood body or pot, Peppermint Eucalypt  neck and Mulga fingerboard.
The 006 Banjo features an Ironbark body or pot, Rosewood Neck & Fingerboard and Beefwood face plate.
They both have a strong rich tone and are a joy to play.
