Flatfoot Johnny

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

Cut the fret slots in the gourd banjo neck and laminated the gourd for improved strength and stability.

A new commission came in for a Boucher inspired minstrel banjo. This will have a 14" pot and a big ole 29" scale with scroll peghead and double ogees. Here's the full size plan.
