2004 Crafters of Tennessee Tradition 5-String Resonator Banjo, Arch Top, Case

This 2004 Crafters of Tennessee Tradition is extremely rare, and it represents a high point in American banjo making in the last 25 years from Mark Taylor. It has been set up by our banjo technician Tara and ships in a functional hardshell case.

Geoff Hohwald says it is extraordinarily well built. In the video he plays it so you can hear it. (Geoff calls it a raised head in the video; the tone ring is an arch top.)

It has a mahogany neck and resonator with a three ply hard rock maple rim and an arch top tone ring that gives you a bright, Ralph Stanley style sound. Presto style tailpiece. Planetary style tuners. The label inside is signed by Mark Taylor, serial 04014.

Condition: this banjo has been played, with honest wear on the resonator, neck and hardware. Still, it represents excellent value for the price.
