In my old wooden cabin up in the hills of south east London I make banjos, canjos, cigarbox guitars and other things that go twang. Every instrument is fully hand made in the traditional way with a minimal use of power tools and usually using reclaimed timber (that way i can use exotic hard woods and sleep well at night). So if you are interested in buying a high quality unique instrument keep checking here or contact me if you would like to commission something. flatfootjohnny@hotmail.com

Gourd Banjo #2 building
1st I mark and cut the top of my 8.5" Gourd, then scoop out the seeds and scrape the sides to remove loose debris.
Mark out then rough cut the shape of the neck. This is three pieces of Ash.
