Sounding Off
I got some request for a sound file of the Latest Custom Banjo to leave my shop. So I whipped up a quick sound file of me playing Lonesome John on it, you'll have to excuse the mistakes as my hands are cold and that's my story and I'm sticking too it.

The "Road Kill" banjo - Sound file
The inspiration for the Road Kill, custom banjo BM09003 has been sent on it way to its new home. I hope the new owner gets many years of enjoyment out of it. In honor of shipping it off I took a few minuets and recorded a bit to share how wonderful this banjo sounds. With the Bubinga wood tone ring and Fiberskyn head this beauty has a wonderful, warm tone. The standard model will be nearly Identical to this one, with just a simpler head stock profile and will sell for $800.
My playing is a bit off on this, I was rushing too much to get it to the post office that day, but I think it gives you a good idea to how it sounds. Maybe I can get the new owner to send me a file or two once he gets it in his hands.

The Bluegrass Machine - Completed
I have finished up another banjo project I would like to share, this one was dubbed "The Bluegrass Machine". This banjo features a Tony Pass Lost timber rim and Huber flat top tone ring. The neck and resonator are made from beautiful curly maple and stained with a vintage hand rubbed sunburst then finished with a Hard Oil. It has a custom pearl inlay design with a 5th fret star and a star and wings at the 12th fret. It's hard to tell from the pictures but the curly maple stained this way has a ton of depth to it and looks like it breaths as you move your eyes across it.
Here is quick sound sample, although I don't play 3 finger style I think it's a good representation of how this baby sounds.

Fiberskyn vs. Renaissance Banjo Head
Well the owner of the BM09-002 Custom Banjo sent me 3 sound files again. This time the first time through on the song he is playing the banjo setup with a Fiberskyn Head, then the second time through with a Renaissance Head. The songs go from one version right into the next so that you can really hear the difference, and only thing that is different is the heads, everything else is exactly the same. Thanks to Pat for these!
His banjo is tuned to gCGCD.

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":
Next is a version of "Blackberry Blossom", the first time I go through it slowly then I bring it up to speed:
The last one is just me fooling around a bit with "John Hardy":
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.
