A mountain banjo, in the style of Frank Proffitt, is a musical instrument you can build with basic woodworking skills and tools. These homemade, fretless banjos have a unique and wild sound that factory instruments just can't match!We'll carve the neck, construct the rim assembly and tone ring, and fit the instrument with a hand-carved bridge, nut and pegs. Advanced students can incorporate relief carving to decorate the neck, peghead and rim. The final class will include a banjo lesson!
