Details
Handmade by Pisgah Banjo Company in North Carolina, the Dobson 11” is a gorgeous open-back banjo that is inspired by, but not beholden to, the long-storied tradition of American Banjo craftsmanship. Taking design cues from the most celebrated old-time banjos from the 19th and 20th centuries, Pisgah combines vintage-styled construction with modern quality of life features, perfectly suited for players looking to find an easy-to-play, authentic-sounding instrument. Outfitted with a Dobson-styled tone ring and walnut rim, this banjo has a lively full sound, with tons of sustain and projection; a good choice for players seeking a nice warm old-timey sound that is not overly thuddy. Pisgah, a company that is big on sustainability and ethical stewardship of the land, only uses locally sourced Appalachian hardwoods for their instruments – the walnut neck and persimmon fingerboard combo is one such example of stunning, domestically sourced tonewood!
