Thanks for looking

I like the mix of woods on the body, but the headstock is just great! :shaka:
 
Sweet. I like the mix of woods on the rim. Subtle but nice detail

Q. How long does it take to tune a banjo?
A. Nobody knows....
 
That is about as nice looking as any Banjolele I've ever seen.

I'd love to hear it.
 
Thank you all for looking. I don't have a sound sample which is probably for the best the way I play:D
