Introducing the BM09002!

The second custom banjo to leave my shop this year is completed and will be on its way to Maryland next week with me as I travel to the Folk Musicians Retreat. Its owner Pat the Loafer will be giving me a place to sleep the day before the retreat and we will be hanging out and making some music on his new banjo prior to the Retreat.

Pat wanted a curly maple banjo similar to the BM09001 I built for myself earlier this year. We worked closely together on the custom inlay design of this banjo and it turned out awesome! It features a Cocobolo Tone ring and appointments, curly maple pot and neck, Buzzard Mountain Traditional headstock design and a frailing scoop.

Here are a few photos for Pat to drool over as he too has to wait until next week to get this beauty in his hands.

The sound of a Buzzard Mountain Banjo

Several people have been asking me to post some sound files of my new banjo, the BM09001.


So I pulled out my Zoom H2 this evening and did a few recordings so y'all could here this banjo in action.

First up I did "Rosin the Beau":
Rosin_the_Beau_BM09001.mp3

Next is a version of "Blackberry Blossom", the first time I go through it slowly then I bring it up to speed:
Blackberry_Blossem_BM09001.mp3

The last one is just me fooling around a bit with "John Hardy":
John_Hardy_BM09001.mp3

I hope everyone enjoys these and it gives you a good sense of what this banjo sounds like, the files are straight off of my Zoom H2 and simply converted to mp3 with Audacity and have no other effects or adjustments added.
