This 6 String banjo has a wonderful voice! The Cocobolo Rosewood tone ring on a Mahogany rim with the Fiberskyn head gives it a wonderfully balanced tone. The Rim, Neck and Rim Cap are all Mahogany and the rim features a Herringbone inlay! <br /> <br /> S6 Front<br /> <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_P_Front.png' onclick="F1 = window.open('/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_P_Front.png','Zoom','height=665,width=316,top=200,left=689.5,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes'); return false;"><!-- s9ymdb:149 --><img class="serendipity_image_center" width="301" height="650" style="border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_P_Front.png" alt="" /></a><br /> <br /> S6 Side View<br /> <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_P_Side.png' onclick="F1 = window.open('/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_P_Side.png','Zoom','height=665,width=267,top=200,left=714,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes'); return false;"><!-- s9ymdb:150 --><img class="serendipity_image_center" width="252" height="650" style="border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_P_Side.png" alt="" /></a><br /> <br /> S6 Back<br /> <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_P_Back.png' onclick="F1 = window.open('/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_P_Back.png','Zoom','height=665,width=308,top=200,left=693.5,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes'); return false;"><!-- s9ymdb:151 --><img class="serendipity_image_center" width="293" height="650" style="border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_P_Back.png" alt="" /></a><br /> <br /> S6 Pot Close up<br /> <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_P_Pot.png' onclick="F1 = window.open('/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_P_Pot.png','Zoom','height=665,width=448,top=200,left=623.5,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes'); return false;"><!-- s9ymdb:152 --><img class="serendipity_image_center" width="433" height="650" style="border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_P_Pot.png" alt="" /></a><br /> <br /> I can't wait for Pat &amp; Patrick to get this in there hands!

I am currently working on several banjos including the <a href="http://somersetbanjo.com/s-6.html" target="_blank">Somerset S6 Six String Banjo </a>prototype which should be ready in a week or so. I am also working on a budget model banjo that I plan on making a standard offering at Buzzard Mountain, more to come later on that later. <br /> <br /> Pat the Loafer has had a chance to get acquainted with his new banjo the <a href="http://www.buzzardmountain.com/blog/archives/30-Introducing-the-BM09002!.html">BM09002</a> and was kind enough to send me some sound files of him playing it. I put the sound files in with some pictures and made a video slide show.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I am also attaching the 3 songs separately for everyone to listen too. Pat is playing in gCGCD tuning for these. <br /> Arkansas Traveler<br /> <br /> Soldier's Joy<br /> <br /> <br /> Mon, 04 May 2009 18:49:36 -0400 http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/archives/32-guid.html http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/banjo banjo building bm09002 cocobolo sound files Introducing the BM09002! http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/archives/30-Introducing-the-BM09002!.html Banjo Building http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/archives/30-Introducing-the-BM09002!.html#comments http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/wfwcomment.php?cid=30 0 http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/rss.php?version=2.0&type=comments&cid=30 nospam@example.com (Neil Turner) The second custom banjo to leave my shop this year is completed and will be on its way to Maryland next week with me as I travel to the Folk Musicians Retreat. Its owner Pat the Loafer will be giving me a place to sleep the day before the retreat and we will be hanging out and making some music on his new banjo prior to the Retreat. <br /> <br /> Pat wanted a curly maple banjo similar to the <a href="http://www.buzzardmountain.com/blog/archives/13-The-sound-of-a-Buzzard-Mountain-Banjo.html" target="_blank">BM09001</a> I built for myself earlier this year. We worked closely together on the custom inlay design of this banjo and it turned out awesome! It features a Cocobolo Tone ring and appointments, curly maple pot and neck, Buzzard Mountain Traditional headstock design and a frailing scoop. <br /> <br /> Here are a few photos for Pat to drool over as he too has to wait until next week to get this beauty in his hands.<br /> <br /> <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/BM09-002/BM-09002-01.png' onclick="F1 = window.open('/blog/uploads/blogimages/BM09-002/BM-09002-01.png','Zoom','height=665,width=334,top=200,left=680.5,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes');

Now, I know most of you probably assume that it is a trained Buzzard, but all of my efforts to catch and tame one have failed.

I built this dream machine for myself as a birthday present, I just turned 35 on Sat. Jan 10th and I thought I deserved a new frailing machine. This banjo looks and plays wonderfully! <br /> <br /> Here are just a few of the features I built into this banjo:<br /> <ul id="ul2"><br /> <li>11" Curly Maple rim with a Cocobolo Rosewood tone ring and strip</li><br /> <li>3 piece Curly Maple and Cocobolo neck</li><br /> <li>Custom Headstock and Pearl Inlay in ebony overlay &amp; fingerboard</li><br /> <br /> Here are some Images:<br /> <br /> <img src="/img/banjos/bm09001/BM09001_01.png" alt="" /><img src="/img/banjos/bm09001/BM09001_02.png" alt="" /><br /> <img src="/img/banjos/bm09001/BM09001_03.png" alt="" /><img src="/img/banjos/bm09001/BM09001_04.png" alt="" /><br /> <img src="/img/banjos/bm09001/BM09001_05.png" alt="" /><img src="/img/banjos/bm09001/BM09001_09.png" alt="" /><br /> <br /> I'm really pleased with the way this build turned out and I hope it's a sign of things to come for Buzzard Mountain Instruments in 2009!<br /> <br /> I will post more later, some sound files or a video but for now I need to go play this thing!<br /> Mon, 12 Jan 2009 21:18:37 -0500 http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/archives/2-guid.html http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/banjo birthday cocobolo project
