Comment from Blak Emerald purchaser
"Oh man, I love it no doubt about that. It's the best looking and sounding banjo in the world. You guys have made me one happy chappy. Thanks" A brief history of this instrument The Blak Emerald took a total of 5 months to construct, material sourcing was a real problem as only high grade ebony can be used for the main components those being the neck and pot, further more because we wanted a totally unique banjo some of the metalwork was also manufactured in our workshops, the Oettinger style tailpiece for instance was a great challenge and was made by hand piece by piece this alone took over a week !

We were also committed to trying out a new design of flange made from a base metal and veneered in macassar ebony, the armrest you see has become our signature armrest inlaid with our logo.
When fully assembled the banjo was not only very striking but as you can see very different.
